Oatcake with Cherries and Nutmeg

A slightly different version of a pancake with half of it being oats, this is a "stick to your ribs" kind of pancake. When I was about 6, or so, my great aunt used to fix oatmeal for me for breakfast and I really didn't like it! She would tell me I needed to eat it because it would stick to my ribs! That made it even worse because I could picture that gray sticky stuff stuck to my ribs inside of my tummy all day long! But, since then I've grown to appreciate oats, even to like them. Therefore, in memory of my Great Aunt Fairy (yep, Aunt Fairy), an oatcake topped with cherries. And I always have loved cherries, so that's no chore and they can stick to my ribs (along with the oats) if they want to.
