# Derbyshire Oatcakes
### Ingredients
* 8 ounces fine oatmeal
* 8 ounces whole-wheat or plain flour
* 1 teaspoons salt
* 0.5 ounces fresh yeast
* 0.75 pints warm milk
* 0.75 pints warm water
* 1 teaspoons sugar
### Directions
1. Add salt to flour and oatmeal.
2. Dissolve yeast with a little warm liquid and add sugar. Allow to become frothy.
3. Mix dry ingredients with yeast and rest of warm liquid to make a batter.
4. Cover with clean cloth and leave in warm place for 1 hour.
5. Bake on well-greased griddle. Put enough batter onto griddle to produce an oatcake to a diameter of your choice.
Derbyshire Oatcakes can be around 6 or 7 inches, Staffordshire Oatcakes are more like 9 inches in diameter.
Turn oatcake after 2-3 minutes when upperside appears dry and underside is golden brown, and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Eat as soon as possible.
