Celebrating the New Year with...Scottish Oat Cakes?

I'm starting off the new year by baking and eating something high in fat, of course.

Scottish Oat Cakes

2 cups oatmeal
1 cup white flour
1 cup brown sugar (I used 1/2 cup of brown sugar Splenda)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup oil or margarine
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 cup boiling water

Mix dry ingredients, add oil.
Dissolve the baking soda in the boiling water and add to mix. Add more water if necessary. (I did need a bit more.)
Shape into a long wedge, score, and bake at 400F for 10 to 12 minutes.
