A delightful twist on the classic oatcake, these squares are perfect for any occasion.
Combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl.
Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients.
Add the shortening and use your fingertips to rub it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Work quickly to prevent the shortening from melting.
Pour in the cold water and mix with a fork until the dough comes together into a ball.
Add water gradually to avoid making the dough too wet.
Divide the dough in half and roll each portion out on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness.
Use a light touch to prevent sticking.
Cut the dough into squares or your preferred shape and place them on a greased baking sheet.
Ensure even spacing to allow for proper baking.
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 15 minutes or until lightly golden.
Check for doneness by looking for a slight golden edge.
Let the squares cool on a wire rack before serving.
Cooling helps them firm up and enhances their texture.
