Best Oatmeal Gingerbread Scottish Recipes
SCOTS GINGERBREAD (OLD SCOTTISH RECIPE)
Here is another old Scottish recipe that is printed on the linen towel I have hanging on my kitchen wall. I love the way people were able to cook back then - with such scanty directions! I think cooks back then just KNEW some things so they didn't have to be put in the recipe. Such as, preheat the oven and what a proper baking...

Steps:
- 1. Original version: Beat 8 oz. butter to a cream. Mix with 12 oz. flour, 4 oz. oatmeal, 1/2 gill cream. Stir in 12 oz. treacle, 1 oz. green ginger, 4 oz. lemon peel cut into fine shreds. Work the whole into a light dough. Bake in a greased tin for 45 minutes.
- 2. Modern version: Cream the butter. Beat in flour, oats, and cream. Add in sorghum, ginger, and lemon peel. (This looks like a lot of peel. I wouldn't pack it down in the cup.) Combine well.
- 3. Preheat oven to 350-375 degrees. Grease a 9 x 13 inch cake pan. Spread batter into prepared pan.
- 4. Bake at 350 to 375 degrees about 40-45 minutes. Watch carefully so it doesn't burn. Since no temperature was given in the recipe, and temperatures varied greatly back then, it's hard to judge how long to cook it.
- 5. Cool 10 minutes in pan. May cut and serve from pan, or turn out onto serving plate and slice to serve.
