Hobnob Recipe

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.

Thank you so much NI_BOBS, and also thankyou Aprilsun for the recipe in the first place 😊.
Ah yh I know wraithlady but there's 231 pages and on my phone I am only able to go back one page at a time and it won't let me just go to the start for some reason so that would of taken forever, there probably is a way I'm just not getting it lol

hayleyjanemat - on my laptop it tells me there are 231 pages, but on the bar under the last post which shows the page numbers (and lets you skip back) it shows a link to page 1 - and then a square with dots, and then page numbers from 225 onwards.   If I click on the box that says '1' it takes me back to the start of the thread.

Cw18, If I press the three dots or the forward arrows it doesnt do anything and I haven't got number one option, I also don't know how to reply directly! 😩 Thanks tho

what would be a good alternative to bicarb soda - the internet says 3 x the amount of baking powder, can anyone confirm please?

Just lost my post but quickly to say TWINK has posted under a new user name Aprilsun, just a few posts back. 

Thanks twink you have no idea how many times I’ve made twinks and variations over the years. My DD now makes for her boys. X

Finchy I don’t add bicarb or baking powder and mine are fine

I've been an MSEr for 15 years, and this morning I finally made my first batch of Twinks.  They are supposed to be for Fathers day, but they are disappearing very quickly in the name of quality control
