Keep some oats back in case the dough gets too wet or sticky when rolling out.

Drain the fat from cooked bacon into a glass jar and keep it in the fridge for use.

Add hot water to the oats and mix to form a stodgy heavy dough.

Roll out the dough to about 3 or 4 millimeters thick using a rolling pin or wine bottle.

Cut the rolled dough into cracker shapes using a mug or knife.

Preheat a skillet or hanging griddle plate over the fire until hot.

Carefully lay out the oat cakes on the hot griddle and cook for about 5 minutes on each side.

Check for doneness by looking for lightly golden brown bottoms and slightly curling edges before flipping.

Serve with chutney and cheddar cheese.
