I recently spotted a recipe on here for Oat Cakes which turn out like Hob Nob biscuits. I wrote down the recipe and then promptly lost it. Have done a search but can't find it (new to all this 
).
Could someone post this again as I'd like to make some today?(have been promising to do this for days).

I'd like this one too, I love Hob Nobs.
Apple if it's an consolation you are not alone, I have hunted the house this morning for my copy of the Paupers Cookbook (the original one) and it looks like I may have thrown it out when I was sorting out the bedrooms, it took me 9 years to find the last one

Was it the one I posted in the storecupboard challenge? I would say they are more like a cross between hob nobs and shortbread - if that makes any sense! I have copied the post for you here:
This is my recipe for 'Mums Oaty Biscuits'. Well - its my mums recipe as you can maybe tell, but they are FABULOUS and I have used white sugar instead of the brown and they are almost as good. Imperial measurements (showing my mums age), but not difficult to translate - eg multiply by 25 for a rough gram equivalent
Ingred
8oz flour
8oz oats
8oz marg
3oz soft brown sugar
Beat together sugar and marg. Mix in oats and flour. Roll out to about 1/4 inch thick (0.5 cm or slightly more) and cut into rounds with pastry cutters.
Bake on a greased tray in a preheated over for 30 mins at 350 deg f (don't know C equivalent, if you need it it should be easy to find online)0 -
Instead of rolling/cutting could you just break off blobs and shape/flatten by hand? I'm all for an easy life
Also, the only brown sugar I have in right now is dark muscavado ... time to experiment me thinks "An Ye Harm None, Do What Ye Will"

At least you have an excuse! ... I'm just lazy and hate rolling things out "An Ye Harm None, Do What Ye Will"

Excuse my ignorance but is it just porridge oats you use?
Also, what type of flour - plain? Would 'normal' sugar be just as good?
Thanks.

Might be tempted to try this tonight. I have some soft brown sugar that I need to use, and biscuits always get eaten in two seconds flat in our house (along with coffee cake and scones).Baby Year 1: Oh dear...on the move

You do not need pastry cutters - use a glass or cup of the right size - even an egg cup would do:):) "This site is addictive!"

That's a good idea elona - I'll try that. Eldest daughter's new boyfriend is here today. He seemed quite impressed with the aroma of chicken in red wine sauce cooking in my shiny new slow-cooker (bought yesterday with this month's PMS money). The oat biscuits will probably make him think that we are a household of cooks :-). Eldest daughter's cooking skills run to taking a pizza out of a box and putting it into the oven ... heheEnjoying an MSE OS life0
