Steps

  • Mix oatmeal, wholemeal flour, plain flour, yeast, and salt in a bowl.
  • Gradually stir water into the center until the batter reaches the consistency of thick cream.
  • Cover and set aside for 3 to 8 hours to develop gluten.
  • Whisk in the baking powder once the batter has rested.
  • Heat 5ml of vegetable oil in a frying pan and add a ladle of batter.
  • Fry the oatcake for 1 to 2 minutes until golden-brown on one side.
  • Flip and fry for another minute until golden on both sides.
  • Keep cooked oatcakes warm on a plate separated by greaseproof paper.
  • Preheat the grill to its highest setting.
  • Grill bacon rashers for 3 to 4 minutes per side until crisp.
  • Heat olive oil in a pan and fry mushrooms for 3 to 4 minutes until brown.
  • Return an oatcake to a hot pan and sprinkle cheese over one half.
  • Add two bacon rashers and a spoonful of mushrooms once the cheese begins to melt.
  • Fold the oatcake and heat for one more minute until the cheese is fully melted.
  • Repeat for all remaining ingredients and serve immediately.
