I have oat bran which looks like the texture of wheat Germ. would that work,

My recipe for oat cakes calls for butter and long pepper.
The one I use weekly is a slightly modern addaptation of the original.
Original (translated)
32 oz ground scotts oatmeal or 1 box rolled oats ground in a blender.
8 oz melted butter or enough to give the dough some "body"
2 long pepper ground in a pestle and morter
Enough water to moisten.
Mix the oats with long pepper and enough butter to form lumps.
slowely add cold water until dough holds togather (sort of like pie
crust).
Cover a bread board with a hand full of the ground oats and roll the dough
out into 8" circles. Place a scant handfull of the ground oats on a hot
gridle. Carefully place the oat cake on the oats. Bake untill dry and
"crumbly" on the edges and dry and lightly browned on the bottom. Cut into
8 wedges.
This recipe is from my family cook book. The measurements are what is
modern and have been worked out over time.
