Oatcakes are made from oatmeal, rather than the flaked oats more commonly used for porridge; essentially the groat, or the inside of the oat, minus its inedible outer husk, chopped or ground to. This recipe is adapted from an old fashioned recipe book from Sherbrooke Village, a nineteenth century mining and lumber community in Nova Scotia that has been restored and is now a museum.
