This recipe comes from the county where the Scots first landed in Canada
(and where my dad was born.) To quote the author, “Our Scottish ancestors
used “real” oatmeal when they made their favorite oatcakes. However sugar
did creep in, as indicated by this 75 year old recipe. (The book was
published in 1971 so the recipe would be form the year 1894.)
