Instructions
-
Step 1
Combine ¾ cup (165 ml) of oat milk with the lemon juice in a measuring jug. Leave for 5 minutes to thicken slightly.

Heat the oven to 220°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Whisk the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt together in a large mixing bowl.

Pour in the prepared oat milk mixture and fold gently with a spatula until a soft, slightly shaggy dough forms.

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured work surface, bring it together gently, and pat it 2.5 cm thick. Cut 8 rounds, bringing the scraps together once as needed, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
-
Step 7
Brush the tops with the remaining 1 tbsp (15 ml) of oat milk.
-
Step 8
Bake at 220°C for 13–16 minutes, until well risen and golden on top.
