Sultana Oat Cookie PIe is a giant cookie. The simplicity, as well as the flavour and texture, is what makes this such a great recipe.
Simple mix the ingredients together and put them into a cake pan, or a pie dish, and bake it. Then you have one giant cookie that you can divide into individual wedges. That is much simpler and much quicker than dividing dough into portions and baking on a tray. Another advantage is that when slicing you can decide what size you want.
Ingredients
As well as being simple to make the recipe uses fairly standard ingredients.
Plain Flour – All purpose is good too.
Rolled Oats – they give a lovely texture. Quick Oat will be fine too.
Unsalted Butter – you can used salted butter, and omit the salt from the recipe.
Light Brown Sugar – gives a lovely light flavour. Dark brown sugar will give a more molasses flavour.
Caster Sugar – I use golden caster sugar, but normal caster or granulated sugar is fine.
Sultanas – you can use other dried fruits, such as blueberries, cranberries etc.
Egg – adds a richness and brings the ingredients together.
Ground Cardamom – is a lovely spice that has a fantastic flavour, but all spice, cinnamon etc would work too.
Vanilla extract – gives a wonderful additional flavour.
Salt – really works well in this cookie, and brings out all the other flavours.
Baking Soda – (bicarbonate of soda) helps to give a rise to the cookie pie. Don’t use too much since it can have an aftertaste.
Icing Sugar – to make an icing to drizzle on the top, this is optional.
Process for Sultana Oat Cookie Pie
As I mention above this is the simplest of recipes. Even simpler than making individual cookies.
Simply cream the butter and sugars and add the remaining wet ingredients. Then mix all the dry ingredients, except the icing sugar, together and add them into the bowl. Mix everything until combined, stirring in the sultanas as well, and press it into a 9 inch/23cm round cake pan or pie dish. When it is compressed and fairly level bake the pie for 20 to 25 minutes, until it rises and is baked through. Leave it in the pan for a few minutes, then run a knife around the edge and turn the cookie pie out onto a rack to cool.
Make a simple icing and drizzle it over the top. Then leave it to set up for a short whilte. Cut the pie into wedges of the size you prefer.
My Sultana Oat Cookie Pie
My pie baked well in 25 minutes. I let it cool before drizzling some icing over the top. Then I cut a few wedges to have a taste. The texture was just perfect, crisp on the outside and chewy inside. The cardamom and salt provided a wonder flavour to complement the chewy oat texture and the fruitiness of the sultanas. This is such a very good, and simple, recipe.
