Old Recipes: Scottish Oat Cakes, Crumpets, and Chelsea Buns

 Recently I tried out three recipes from the old cookbook. The oat cakes were ok. I liked them but the kids thought they were just ok (not good, not bad). I also made crumpets. About 3 years ago I bought the molds to make crumpets because it's something I've wanted to try out for a long time now. However, the molds got mixed up in a package to us when we were in Asia and sent back to my family in the states. After we moved here (about a year and a half ago), my family gave me the package and I finally got the crumpet molds! However, I've only made them twice. This time around they turned out much better than the first time! Everyone liked them. 

I also made oat cakes. My hunch is that maybe they are supposed to be thicker than this (?). I was trying to follow the recipe in the book. 

These are the Chelsea Buns. I really liked them- not as sweet as a cinnamon roll and more flavor.
