I haven&#8217;t tried the recipe yet, but, I did purchase some <a href=\"http:\/\/www.effieshomemade.com\/\">Effie&#8217;s Oatcakes<\/a>. They just came in the mail yesterday and they are GOOD! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>However, although I am enjoying Effie&#8217;s Oatcakes, I think they are a bit different than the oatcakes described in the novel <u>Angel Harp<\/u>. As far as I can tell, people eat the oatcakes with jam or jelly, butter, or with meat or cheeses. The Effie&#8217;s Oatcakes tasted more like a lightly sweetened thin oatmeal cookie without the cinnamon and other spices. They are thin and crispy, like a cracker, and they have a rich, buttery taste. When I do try a recipe, I&#8217;m going to use one that has butter instead of shortening or lard. I love the taste of butter in a cookie! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>As I said, they are good, but I can&#8217;t imagine eating them for breakfast or at tea time with cheeses and meats. My husband and I are eating Effie&#8217;s as a dessert or snack.<\/p>\n<p>I will try to make some soon. I&#8217;m off from work next week, so, I might take part of one of my days and bake some oatcakes &#8211; or, if I&#8217;m feeling adventurous, I might make some this weekend!<\/p>\n<p><em><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/ceceliadowdy.com\">~Cecelia Dowdy~<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As you know, I blogged about oatcakes recently.
