Oatcakes are that glorious thing: portable porridge – a high-fibre, high-energy, pocket-friendly snack that’s almost as good on its own as it is on a cheeseboard with a wedge of Hebridean blue. Commercial versions, however (which often contain some very un-Scottish palm oil), can be so sturdy that they could double as chipboard, but once you taste these crumbly, richly flavoured, homemade alternatives, you’ll never go back.
