Christmas leftovers – a one-day blessing, seven day curse. Boxing day: you’re quite looking forward to your turkey and stuffing sandwich. New year’s day: you’re wondering why on earth you consigned yourself to this endless leftover sandwich diet and when this food purgatory will end.

It’s taken a couple of months, but with these oatcakes we’ve finally got to a recipe that I can use as running fuel without lying to myself. In essence oatcakes are a slightly-leavened bread that you can cook in a pan without a quarter of the effort that goes into baking proper bread. Much as…
