    Fairy cakes?

    if you suggest other ingredients, people can give you better suggestions :)

    Example if you have dried fruit and oats and syrup/honey/something sticky - you can make flapjacks

    I think my problem is I don't know what goes with what..

    I have had a look, I also have;

    Some honey, about 4 tablespoons worth.. I could get more as I do eat it
    A nearly full box of scottish rolled oats - porridge
    Bournville cooking chocolate
    Plain flour - 2 bags of it!!


    Flapjacks would be cool, cookies, cakes stuff, anything really.. :)

    well you sure have the ingredients for flapjacks, fairy cakes (links in previous posts ) ,and twinks hobknobs

    So what do you want to start with :)

    Every day biscuits are lovely and the mix freezes well in a sausage shape

    I have made these many times - SO tasty and filling too (and easy) I just adapt to what i have in

    Chocolate chip cookies

    Oooh, spoilt for choice!

    The everyday biscuits sound great, especially as I can freeze some of it.. I usually make way too much lol..

    When it says golden syrup, can I replace this with the honey?

    Thanks for the suggestions, really glad I asked now :)

    Yes i would make that replacement :D Both sticky and sweet :j

    Report back - ill leave this to see what ideas others have, and merge it later (and update)

    You will be hooked . Damn you, I want flapjacks now! :eek::o

    Oh and twinks also freezes in a sausage roll shape . (assuming you have the ingredients for twinks, i think you need bicarb and not sure if you have that :) )

    fairy cakes also freeze well - mine keep fresh for over a week somehow. I'm not sure if it's because i add milk........ They keep very fresh though.
