Who's heard of Staffordshire Oatcakes?

They are the best food anywhere in the world :p

Just ask anyone who's ever lived in Stoke-on-Trent or surrounding areas...

They're like thick crepes made of oats and filled with cheese/bacon/eggs/baked beans/mushrooms/bits of sausage/all of the above and more...

Finally found a recipe (I have a friend who's family owns one of the last traditional oatcake shops and even he wouldn't tell me, lucky for me google has filled the gap!)

  • 225 g fine oatmeal
  • 225 g wholewheat or plain flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 15 g yeast
  • 450 ml warm milk (I was thinking heres where to add the Ganj, chop and grind finely, heat milk and Ganja together gently)
  • 450 ml warm water
  • 1 teaspoon sugar

  1. Mix the water and milk together.
  2. Mix the salt with the flour and oatmeal in a large bowl.
  3. Dissolve the yeast with a little warm liquid and add the sugar. Allow the mixture to become frothy.
  4. Mix the dry ingredients with the yeast liquid to make a batter adding the remainder of the warm liquid.
  5. Cover the batter with a clean cloth and leave in a warm place for about an hour.
  6. Pour out enough batter on a well-greased griddle to make an oatcake of about 22 cm. The surface will be covered in holes as it cooks.
  7. Flip the oatcake after 2–3 minutes, when the top side has a dry appearance and the underneath is a golden brown colour, and cook for another 2–3 minutes.

    Currently I'm without a griddle and so unable to make them, but they're so awesome and yet I can't even get them when I go back home for the winter, I can get Lebanese cuisine and imported Korean Jinseng soy drinks yet the humble oatcake seems restricted to a small part of the UK!

    Basically I want to spread the word like some mental Oatcake Evangelist, eat them and be healed!

    Some reservations.... Do you think the temperature is likely to become to high and vaporize or destroy the THC? If so I guess I'll keep these as just being my favourite munchies snack! :p
