Oatcakes
by Susun Weed

2 cups/500ml rolled oats
1/2 tsp/3ml baking powder
1/2 tsp/3ml salt
1 cup/250ml oats
2 tablespoons/30ml olive oil
6-8 Tbs/90-120ml hot water
1/2 cup/125ml rolled oats

Grind rolled oats to a fine meal in a blender or grinder. You'll get about 1 1/2 cup/375ml meal.

Mix this with baking powder, salt, 1 cup/250ml unground oats, and oil. Add just enough to form a ball of dough. Make it two balls.

Sprinkle just a little oats on your counter and roll out each ball (adding more oats as needed) to two hand-spans wide (9 inches/25cm). Cut each circle into 6-8 wedges.

Cook on a cookie sheet at 350F/80C for 15 minutes, or in a cast-iron skillet for eight minutes to a side.

"Healing Wise, what a powerful book! It has changed the way I feel towards modern medicine, the chaos in my life, and even my backyard. The seven featured common weeds are given voices and distinct personalities. For instance, dandelion speaks from this book with a charming and joyous French accent. The voice of Wise Woman wisdom rings throughout this book and I find myself turning to this book for solutions to my various discomforts instead of calling the doctor."
