225g fine oatmeal 225g wholewheat or plain flour 1tsp salt 15g yeast 450ml warm milk 450ml warm water 1tsp sugar Method for North Staffordshire Oatcake: Mix the water and milk together. Mix the salt to the flour and oatmeal in a large bowl. Dissolve the yeast with a little warm liquid and add the sugar. Allow the mixture to become frothy. Mix the dry ingredients with the yeast liquid to make a batter adding the remainder of the warm liquid. Cover the batter with a clean cloth and leave in a warm place for about an hour. Pour out enough batter on a well-greased griddle to make an oatcake of about 22cm. The surface will be covered in holes as it cooks. 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.
