Scottish Oat Cakes

Submitted by LtlPhyl 2

"This recipe comes from The Scottish Lion Country Inn once located in North Conway, NH but is now out of business after many, many years of serving delightful Scottish cuisine to the public. Some of their most requested recipes were shared with the public of which this is one from Judy Hurley's Scottish grandmother. These are wonderful served warm with butter in place of hot dinner rolls."
