They turned out fine again so thought it must just have been your oatmeal.<br /><br />Try making porridge with the Alfords oatmeal too. It is delicious, lovely and nutty tasting. If you like porridge that is!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14812640346610262141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-376359161656218328.post-74825484306670083362010-10-04T13:18:30.706+01:002010-10-04T13:18:30.706+01:00I bought Alfords oatmeal while we were on holiday ...I bought Alfords oatmeal while we were on holiday - what a difference!! After asking my mum she said I couldn't make oatcakes with the pinhead oatmeal I had tried to use the first time (there is no flour in it).... so the proper oatcakes are about to go into the oven just now, and I just can't wait to put smoked salmon on them and eat up!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-376359161656218328.post-56875737827481543892010-09-14T22:38:41.298+01:002010-09-14T22:38:41.298+01:00I'll defintitely try again with the right oatm...I'll defintitely try again with the right oatmeal next time!! <br />The ones I made are now out of the oven, I'm loving the salty flavour, thats right up my street.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-376359161656218328.post-12532527290157156982010-09-14T22:36:24.907+01:002010-09-14T22:36:24.907+01:00Probably was the course oatmeal.

My mum only got the cooker last year but she loves it.<br /><br />Maybe one day I'll be able to get one too.<br /><br />Dawn, I've not tried the co-op smoked salmon. We have a small co-op near us so I'll need to check for it next time I'm in. I do prefer the hot smoked stuff but it is sooo expensive so only as a little treat!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14812640346610262141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-376359161656218328.post-65293077656032637642010-09-10T10:11:19.103+01:002010-09-10T10:11:19.103+01:00I have come back this morning to look at these oat...I have come back this morning to look at these oatcakes!! And I am imagining them with smoked salmon, I think I could acutally live on oatcakes, for breakfast with jam, with smoked salmon on them for lunch, and with soup for my dinner!!<br /><br />Have you ever come across the co-op's smoked salmon for £1, it's great.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-376359161656218328.post-56035516652954474242010-09-10T06:33:09.593+01:002010-09-10T06:33:09.593+01:00Let me at them I say!
