Anglo-Saxon Oatcakes - How Not To Burn King Alfred's Cakes
If you've seen The Last Kingdom or grew up in England, then you know the story of how King Alfred the Great fled into the marshes of Somerset only to be berated for burning some cakes. Today, we're making those cakes. We'll also look the history around the story and what it tells us of the changing Anglo-Saxon mindset in 9th century England.

ANGLO-SAXON OATCAKES (AKA Honeycakes / Ashcakes)
MODERN RECIPE
INGREDIENTS
250g oats
½ Cup Oat Flour (46g)
1 ½ sticks (170g) butter melted
50g dried fruit chopped (apples, apricots, cherries)
6 tablespoons (126g) honey
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
METHOD
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C OR Set a skillet or frying pan over medium high heat. Cooking these on a skillet is closer to the way the Anglo-Saxons would have done it, but it is considerably more difficult.
2. Add the oats, dried fruit, cinnamon, and salt to a medium bowl and mix well. Then mix in the honey and the butter. Once fully incorporated, add the oat flour and mix to combine.
3. With your hands, form small flat patties fairly thin and about 3 inches across and set them on a lined baking sheet (or on a plate if you are using a skillet.)
4. If you are baking the cakes, bake in the oven for 10 - 12 minutes, or until they start to darken around the edges. Place the cakes on a wire rack to cool completely.
OR
5. If you are using a skillet or frying pan, gently place several cakes onto the pan. Leave them for 1 - 1½ min, then using a spatula, flip the cakes gently so they do not break, and cook for another 1 minute. The cakes should be browned (possibly slightly scorched) on both sides. Then set them on a wire rack to cool. Repeat until all the cakes are cooked.

These were dry. Very dry. Drier than the average scone. I do know that scones are generally dry but this was overly so. Oh, and no flavor.
2/3 c. butter, melted
1/3 c. milk
1 egg
1-1/2 c. all purpose flour
1-1/4 c. quick Quaker oats, uncooked
1/4 c. sugar
1 Tbsp. baking powder
1 tsp. cream of tartar
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 c. raisins or currants
Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
Add butter, milk and egg to combined dry ingredients; mix just until dry ingredients are moistened. Stir in raisins.
Shape dough to form ball; pat out on lightly floured surface to form an 8-inch circle. Cut into 8-12 wedges; bake on greasted cookie sheet in preheated hot oven 12-15 minutes or until light golden brown. Serve warm at breakfast or brunch with butter, preserves or honey, as desired.
