Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 3 min.

Blend 1 cup rolled oats for a few seconds to obtain a rough oat flour.

Stage 2 - 3 min.

Put this oat flour, ²⁄₃ cup flour, ½ cup butter (cut into small pieces), ¼ cup caster sugar and 1 egg into the mixing bowl of a food processor.

Stage 3 - 5 min.

Knead until evenly mixed (about 4 or 5 minutes).

Stage 4 - 2 hours

Gather the dough together into a slab and wrap in plastic film. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Stage 5 - 10 min.

Preheat oven to 180°C (360°F).

Roll out the dough to a thickness of 3-4mm (a bare ¼"), then cut out circles with a découpoir or an upturned glass. Place these on a baking sheet.

Stage 6 - 20 min.

Bake for 15-20 minutes. It is important not to overcook them.

Remarks

If you want a more oaty flavour, reduce the quantity of flour by half, and increase the oats by the same amount.

Keeping: Several days in a closed metal box.

LOVE this recipe, jh. I've been using oat flour when ever I can include it these days. I enjoy the flavor it imparts especially in baked goods. Although, I have added it to bread crumbs too. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
