Thyme scented oatcakes

Sunday, December 5, 2010

These are divine, I made them for the first time today and I am totally addicted to them!
225g fine oatmeal or oak flakes
2 tbsp fruity olive oil
1/2 tsp sea salt
3 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
about 8 tbsp boiling water

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C/Gas mark 4. Tip the oat meal, oil, salt and 2 tbsp fresh thyme into a food processor.  Whizz to chop and combine.  With the motor running, pour in the boiling water.  Whizz for about 45 seconds-the mixture will start to come together and look sticky and thick.  Tip in the remaining thyme and pulse to chop roughly.
Gather the dough into a ball with your hands.  While it is still warm, roll the dough out on to a floured (I use chickpea flour to avoid wheat) surface to a thickness of about 2 mm.  Cut out using a round or star shaped cutter.  Place on a greased (I use olive oil) baking sheet.
Bake for 15-2 mins or until lightly colored.  Transfer to a wire rack to cool and crisp.  Store in an air tight container up to three weeks
