Hi twink and flourgirl...

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

OMG! I just made these and they are absolutely fantastic. I made 43 with the quantities above - the first batch dissappeared within minutes - thank you so much.

CDG: My thoughts exactly. I made them yesterday morning and there were LOADS! Over half gone now though as we can't keep away from them! Maybe saving £s but gaining lbs!

Hi there Twink:T :T :T :T

I have just taken a batch of bickies out of the oven

I got your recipe..but as im packing up to move i didnt want to open the tin of syrup, so used honey and i had some oats with sultanas and dried apple in to finish off... so i thought i would try my luck:o ..... and ohhhhhh my word mmmmmmmm they are scrummy...cant wait to unpack in germany and make a proper batch;) ... i only made half a batch too as im not a biscuit fan and they were for hubby....well he had better hurry up and get home or i may eat all the evidence:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: ......

Thanks Twink - just **delicious**:D

problem is, I dont really eat many biscuits (they were intended for DH and DD), but it made soooo many (32 since you ask), and it would be a real waste to let them go bad....

twink

glad everyone is enjoying the biscuits, i am going to have to make another batch for myself, just to remind me how good they are of course

Hi Twink

you could start your own fan club:rotfl: :rotfl:

I cant wait to get to germany so i can make a batch of your "proper" ones..im the one using honey:o ...still they are yummy...and i dont eat biscuits...sorry that should be "didnt" eat biscuits..until now;)

MRS MCAWBER i am sure honey would do, i have heard it said golden syrup was the poor mans honey, i thought i would add choc chips to the last lot i made but silly me added them before the melted marg so the choc chips melted and they didnt taste so good, dgs3 liked them though

Twink I think you've run off to Australia and pinched our recipe called ANZACS and renamed them Hobnobs.

Oooooh the cheek.
