Steps:
- Thoroughly grind rolled oats in food processor or blender. Mix with flour and baking powder.
- In a separate bowl, "cream" together yogurt, dry sweetner, honey and vanilla. In yet another bowl, lightly beat egg white until it gets bubbly but not stiff. Fold egg white into wet ingredients. Add dried fruit.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients. The dough gets pretty stiff and is hard to mix. You may even have to dive in there with your hands and squish it together. Add water if the mixture is too dry. Form into 12 patties.
- Bake at 325 degrees F for 15 minutes on a non-stick cookie sheet. Cool completely and store in refrigerator. These keep well and may be frozen.

This recipe comes from The Scottish Lion Country Inn once located in North Conway, NH but is now out of business after many, many years of serving delightful Scottish cuisine to the public. Some of their most requested recipes were shared with the public of which this is one from Judy Hurley's Scottish grandmother.

Steps:
- Add soda to boiling water and let stand until cool. Mix together, flour, baking powder, salt, bran flakes, rolled oats and sugar, cut in shortening, add water and soda; roll out thin on a floured board. Bake in a hot oven (475 degrees) until golden brown (7-10 min).
Tips:
- Choose the right oats: For the best texture, use a combination of rolled oats and oat flour. You can make your own oat flour by grinding rolled oats in a blender or food processor.
- Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make the oatcakes tough. Mix the ingredients together until they just come together, then form the dough into a ball and chill it for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out.
- Roll the dough thinly: The thinner you roll the dough, the crispier the oatcakes will be. Aim for a thickness of about 1/8 inch.
- Use a sharp knife or pastry wheel to cut the oatcakes: This will help to prevent the dough from tearing.
- Bake the oatcakes at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy exterior and a chewy interior.
