Homemade hobnobs?

Nix143

Bums! I just went to make another batch and I've run out of golden syrup - don't suppose there is an alternative to this, is there? I've got black treacle but somehow don't think that would have the desired effect LOL!

Nix if you have honey you could use that, i did once, was thinking of using treacle but didnt, not sure how it would taste, might be okay

I can't get the hang of putting a picture under my name........and as for putting a line at the bottom of my posts, complete with witty quips and show off information - completely lost.

The hobnobs were good though! :j

this is the recipe i use
8oz sr flour
8oz sugar
8oz porridge oats
8oz margarine
1tbsp golden syrup
1tbsp hot water
1/2 tsp bic soda
mix flour, oats and sugar, melt marg, syrup and water in a pan stir in bic soda and add to dry mix, mix well, make smallish balls and put on greased tray and flatten slightly with a fork, 180oc for 15 mins, cool on the tray, you just want them golden in oven not brown

Just to let you know twink, your hobnob recipe is going to Spain. I gave some to the student staying with me and she wants the recipe for her grandma. :rotfl: :rotfl:

me and dd1&2 have just been making these hobnobs for 1st time they smell yummy but i am being a really mean mummy and making them wait til they are cool before tucking in

the biscuits crisp up as they cool, so better waiting if you can borderlakland

Ok, had Tesco delivery today to stock up on oats and butter

Time to experiment!

I've got crystalised ginger, chopped dates, apricots, choc chips and a variety of spices in the storecupboard so this is going to be fun lol :drool:

Just one thing, as a newly diagnosed Diabetic, I understand oats are good for slow-release carbs, but is there some way I can reduce/replace some of the sugar content in this recipe as my blood glucose tends to be rather high at the moment
