Yorkshire oatcakes

Yorkshire oatcakes

Yorkshire oatcakes are a traditional British flatbread, once a common food in the northern counties. Made from oats, water, and a little salt, the mixture is spread thinly and baked on a hot griddle over an open fire. Crisp at the edges yet soft in the middle, oatcakes were often eaten with cheese, butter, or cold meats, providing a simple but sustaining meal for farmers and workers. They were especially valued in rural communities, where oats grew better than wheat. Though less common today, Yorkshire oatcakes remain a reminder of Britain’s rustic cookery and the resourceful spirit of its people.
