3 cups rolled oats
1 and a half cup all purpose flour
half cup packed brown sugar
half tsp salt
half tsp baking soda
1 cup shortening
half cup cold water
In large bowl combine oats, flour, sugar, salt and baking soda.  With 
pastry blender, cut in shortening until crumbly.  Gradually sprinkle 
mixture with water, tossing with a fork to make a sticky dough.  Gather 
into a ball, divide in half.

On well-floured pastry cloth or board and using a floured rolling pin, 
roll out each half to 12-by-9 inch rectangle.  Cut into 3-inch squares 
and cut each in half diagonally.

Place on greased or parchment paper-lined baking sheets in 350F oven 
10-15 mins or until oatcakes are golden on bottom.  Transfer to wire 
racks to cool.  Enjoy warm served with butter.
