Easy Oaty Biscuits

Put 75g (3oz) of plain flour in a bowl with half a level teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda

Add the same amount (75g) of demerara sugar and the same of porridge oats and stir together.

Heat 75g of butter in a pan with a tablespoon of golden syrup.

Mix it altogether and roll it into small balls (you should have about 24).

We (me plus a 3yr old and two 2 yr olds) made these oat biscuits today courtesy of a family recipe given to me by one of the children I look after. The recipe is similar to Rachie B's.

4oz marg, 1 dessertspoon syrup and 2 dessertspoons of water melted together in a pan. Add this to 3oz sugar (I used unrefined caster), 3oz self raising flour, 3 oz oats, 1 teaspoon ground ginger and 1/2 teaspoon bicarb. Mix it all well and then put walnut sized blobs on greased baking sheets. Bake at 200C for 10mins. Admittedly the mixture did seem a bit runny when we made it (I'm a bit slap dash with quantities) so I added extra oats and flour. The biscuits still spread nicely and taste scrummmmmmmy.

Fork biscuits are yum PP,have you tried replacing about 1-2 oz of the flour with cocoa to make chooie ones.They're also nice with grated lemon or orange zest,or ginger/cinnamon.

Why do you have to put them in cold water and do you have to immerse them totally?

I was going to give you the Easy Oaty Biscuit recipe but was beaten to it. I made them today but my DH complained and told me not to make them again why? because they are too nice and they are not helping his diet lol
