Samhain Oatcakes

3c flour (whole wheat or white or a combination)
3c rolled oats (rolled barley might also work)
3/4c sugar (brown or white)
1c butter 
1c shortening
1/2t salt
1/4 c water
2 good sized sheets of waxed paper.

Mush all ingredients together in a bowl.  It's easier to use
your hands.  Divide into several mounds.  

Sandwich a mound between two pieces of waxed paper and roll 
out till about 3/8 to 1/4 inch thick.  This is tedious work.  
I've tried baking the sheet whole but it doesn't bake evenly.

Cut into squarish shapes, place on an unbuttered cookie
sheet, and bale at 375 until the edges are golden (about 
15-20 minutes).
