Homemade hobnobs?

maow425

Made these yesterday, and now they're all gone! DS1 had 2, DH probably had 4 and I scoffed the rest... bye bye diet! Oh, well, what's the point of dieting if I can't shovel down nigh on a whole batch of sugar-loaded biscuits once in a while!!! :lol

About reducing the sugar in the hobnobs for diabetics, dont think it would work as u need the sugar to make the biscuits crunchy, would make it too into a cake mixture, there wouldnt be much difference for the carbs as already mentioned.

Just try and limit as to how many u eat:D

The cinnamon as mum said is great if u are diabetic, ds1 snaps these up and when he was on a school trip he didnt go lo once, which is great:j

Try adding cranberries into the mix next time.

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

Thank you so much, :T
After seeing everybody raving at how nice these were i have just made them with my daughter and she loved helping.
We got 48 out of the mixture and we must be down a dozen already.
We used demerera sugar and they taste fantastic.
What a wonderfully cheap and easy to follow recipe i will deffinately be making them again.

made these last night they were so good.dd took some with her to footie and rather grudgenly let others in team try them.i have now got pleas from half the footie team(as well as ref and coach) to make some more for her to take them into school before end of term. ithink that is a success.

Biscuits are one of the things i just can't make but just had to give these a go .
Thank you twink i made these yesterday and everyone loved them i made about 43 , i took thriftyladys idea and cut them out with a cutter .

glad they are being enjoyed and of course the porridge oats will give sustained energy and there are no E numbers etc to worry about, esp if made with butter, will have to try rolling out the biscuits
