    I haven't read the whole thread so am not sure if it has been mentioned but I mashed two pieces of stem ginger ( that had been in Syrup) into the recipe for these the other day which made them have a delicious twist!!!
    I am not usually a ginger fan but believe me they were awesome!!!
    Perhaps a good christmasy twist????
  • mmm i dont like ginger, but cinnamon and nutmeg might be nice in these? another version for christmas?

    I appreciate this may be a very silly question and not something that many of you can answer, but...

    How long do these legendary bikkies keep for? (note I didn't use the word "last" as they don't seem to last long in anyone's house! :P)

    If I made some on say Thursday evening and kept them in an airtight box, will they still be at their best on Saturday morning? I could make them on the Friday morning at a push; would that be better?

    Many thanks all :)

    I keep them in an old biscuit tin and they keep for at least a week.

    :)

    good or you making them jenster, i get about 50 from mine but i dont eat the mix :D i use the value oats and flour, have a look at the thread as there are many variations including using the mix with dried fruit and seeds to do a flapjack
  • I made these a while ago and loved them, I am going to have to make them again now I have found this thread again. Thank you Twinks for an amazing recipe. :beer:

    I am a coeliac so made them with Dove's farm gluten free self raising flour and had no problems with it at all.
  • My OH loves the hobnobs and they last us at least four or five days as the mixture makes so many. (Despite me eating a heck of a lot of raw mixture!!).

    We also put two tsp ginger powder in ours and I have melted chocolate over the top on one occasion. I love them with ginger in, they are so fab.

    flowerfish i am glad that you are able to enjoy the hobnobs, nice to know as it may be useful for other people who are coeliac

    Diva i usually add ginger too but havent done any with chocolate on top but sounds lovely

    some people on the special occassions thread are using the dry mix to fill jars for christmas presents along with the recipe
  • Argh! Lost my recipe book where I'd written this down, and then battery on laptop went flat! Standing in my kitchen now flapping about with all the ingredients at the ready - best get on and make them now I've found the thread!

    Might try some ginger ones as well, I love ginger!
