In today's Foodie Friday vlog I'm making oatcakes and potted cheese. Cheap, delicious and much nicer than shop bought!
Oatcakes:
- 200g porridge oats (100g of the oats blitzed until fine)
- 3tbsp oil
- 1/2tsp salt
- 1/4tsp black pepper
- boiling water
Mix oats, oil, salt and pepper then add enough boiling water to make a stiff but rollable dough.
Cut into circles and bake in the oven at 170C for 15 mins. Then turn them over and bake for another 5 mins. Cool on a rack.
Cost: 24p for 200g oats and 3 tbsp oil 21p (Tesco prices)
Potted cheese:
- 50g softened butter
- 50g finely grated mature cheddar
- salt/pepper to taste
Mix well together and chill.
Cost: 37p for butter and 27p for cheese (Lidl prices)
Yum! 😋
Lovely simple and economical recipes, and just perfect for Christmas nibbles.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of potted cheese, would only need to get one container out of the fridge rather than two!
ReplyDeleteThese are two things I will definitely make-thanks for the recipes. Catriona
ReplyDeleteThe oatcakes are just delicious and I made some [potted stilton to have on a steak and that worked so well. Thanks, Ali. x
