Ingredients
For the oatcakes
25 g butter
175 g rolled oats
Plain flour, to dust
For the herby cream cheese
125 g cream cheese
Small handful chives, finely chopped
Small handful dill, finely chopped
Finely grated zest 1/2 lemon
To serve
100 g smoked salmon, in small strips
Directions
Step 1First make the oatcakes. Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan) mark 4 and line 2 large baking trays with baking parchment. In a small pan, melt the butter and 150ml water. Set aside to cool slightly.
Step 2Pulse the oats and a pinch of salt in a food processor until fairly fine. Tip into a large bowl and mix in the cooled butter mixture to form a soft dough. Tip on to a floured work surface and shape into a disc.
Step 3Roll out to 3mm thick. Stamp out circles using a 5cm round cutter, or cut into 5cm squares, re-rolling trimmings (you should have about 28 oatcakes). Arrange on the lined trays, spacing slightly apart. Bake for 20-25min, or until lightly golden. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 4Meanwhile mix all the herby cream cheese ingredients with plenty of seasoning. Cover and chill until needed.
Step 5To serve, spread the cream cheese mixture on to 12 of the oatcakes and top with smoked salmon and some freshly ground black pepper. Serve.
