    Is it possible to keep the mix for these in the fridge for ~12 hours. I want to make these, but as a morning "make" and evening "bake", as I work late into the evening then come home and throw something easy into the oven, and it seems a waste to have an empty shelf in there.

    I have tried doing this with cakes before, but they separate before the evening.

    My recipe is now illegible due to butter etc spilling on to it.

    No problem I think - and find the relevant thread. However the computers at work won't let me access is - I think it is the word which follows "Twinks" which means the fillters object!

    If anyone has the time to post the recipe here I would really appreciate it - but please DO NOT USE the WORDS WHICH FOLLOW TWINKS otherwise I won't be able to access this post!

    Ingredients
    8oz sr flour
    8oz sugar
    8oz porridge oats
    8oz margarine
    1tbsp golden syrup
    1tbsp hot water
    1/2 tsp bic soda

    Instructions

    Mix the flour, oats and sugar, melt marg, syrup and water in a pan. Stir in bic soda and add to dry mix.

    Then mix well and make into smallish balls which you then put on a greased tray and flatten slightly with a fork. Put in the oven at 180 degrees C for 15 mins... and cool on the tray. The aim is to get them golden in the oven not brown.

    I have kept the mix in the fridge (i made up a double batch baked some then had to go out-they baked fine later). I also make up the balls ready to bake and freeze them as they are, then cook from frozen-this is great as I can make some at very short notice from my freezer supply.

    I am totally confused.....

    Why don't you paste the recipe on a word document on your computer so you can access it that way :)

    Has anyone tried to make them with no bicarb? I would love to bake a batch but have run out of bicarb. I have baking powder and cream of tartar. Have a pile of kids round later and need to bake something quick and easy.

  • Finally remembered to come back and say a huge thanks for the recipe - me and my inlaw's are now hooked on these biccies! I have been melting chocolate and brushing over the top too, is yummy!
