• 100g medium oatmeal
• 100g plain flour, plus extra for dusting
• 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
• 2 tsp poppy seeds
• 2 tbsp sesame seeds

2. Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface, then roll out until about 0.5cm thick. Cut into small squares, then bake for 12-15 mins until golden. Leave to cool for a few mins, then transfer to a wire rack and cool completely.
