Ingredients

Serve 4-6

  • Oat pastry:

  • 125 g/4 oz whole meal flour

  • 125 g/4 oz medium oatmeal

  • pinch of salt

  • 125 g/4 oz butter or margarine

  • 2 tablespoons oil

  • 2 onions, chopped

  • 2 eggs

  • 150 ml/1/4 pint milk

Method:

  1. To make the pastry, place the flour, oatmeal and salt in a mixing bowl and rub in the butter or margarine until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
