- My grandmother often ate oaten meal bread. This is how she told me it was made. She is now 72 yrs. Get a clean basin and get the pinhead oaten meal. Get salt and wet it with boiling water. Work or stir with a wooden spoon until it is stiff. Then get a board with a wooden ledge at the bottom. Pat the cake on this board resting slanting on the ledge. Place before a good red fire. When well browned turn the other side, and when this is browned it is ready to be eaten. A little flour may be used according to taste.
