Pumpkin seed and thyme oatcakes

Not yet rated

Crumbly and delicious, these delicately flavoured oatcakes from Marcus Wareing are crying out to be served with a slab of cheese - goat's cheese or Camembert would work particularly well. They could also be wrapped up and given to loved ones as gifts, or as part of a homemade hamper with chutney and pickles.
