Welcome to The Handmade Oatcake Company.

We endeavour to produce a unique oatcake product with recipes handed down over centuries to give you the traditional taste of Scotland. We use the only brand of oatmeal guaranteed to be 100% Scottish (from seed to mill to finished product) from the heart of Scotland's oat growing country in the Banffshire countryside. This is where my family originated from and where the simple, but traditional, oatcake was a staple diet of the the Scottish farming folk.

We now produce our award winning oatcakes in the heart of the Perthshire countryside using the natural spring water from the surrounding Perthshire hills.

Try this (pictured here) - Cracked Black Pepper Oatcakes, crumbled through ice cream, served with raspberries & fresh mint.

Our Thin & Crispy and Cocktail Oatcakes have been awarded a 2 Star Gold in the 2008 Great Taste Awards.

Also, watch out for us on UKTV Food's Market Kitchen in early September, where we have been chosen as one of their "Five of the Best" Oatcakes!

As well as the traditional oatcake we also make 4 other types, each one made to compliment different foods and to appeal to a wider range of people.

Traditional Sugar-Free

Suitable for Diabetics . Low GI

 

 

Sweet Oatcake Winner of 2006 & 2007 Great Taste Gold Award and Best Scottish Product Award 2007.

We have added a little demerara sugar, not too much, just enough to give that delicate sweet aftertaste which accentuates the flavourof certain foods. Nice with a lovely blue or smoked cheese bringing the taste of the cheese right out, giving a more appreciative combination of biscuit and cheese.

Nice with all sorts of toppings from scrambled eggs to marmalade.

 

Cracked Black Pepper

Just enough Cracked Black Pepper to give that warming after taste, especially nice with mature cheddar, cream cheese and smoked salmon, in soups and salads.

Best of all, try with ice cream, on or crumbled through the ice cream, your taste buds go wild for that pepper bite with the cool flavour of ice cream.

Especially good for a healthy eating snack to curb your hunger if you are on a diet eating lightly spiced food makes you think you have eaten more. Just enough to satisfy you until the next meal.

 

Thin and Crispy Winner of 2 Star Gold Great Taste Award 2008.

Our newest ones are made with rapeseed oil giving a slightly darker biscuit and more crispy texture. These are especially good for canapes, as they don't go soft as quickly, giving you more preparation time when entertaining.

Made with a slight amount of Demerara in them to compliment the toppings especially giving canapes that extra zing.

 

 

Cocktail Winner of 2 Star Gold Great Taste Award 2008.

Made to the same recipe as the Thin & Crispy, our cocktail oatcakes are the perfect size for party food, finger buffets etc.
