Oat Biscuits

Homemade Oat BiscuitsThis is my three hundredth post. Yes, I've published three whole hundred posts full of beads and waffle. Yay me! I'm celebrating with a cup of tea and one (or two) of these homemade oat biscuits. They're like flapjacks in crunchy cookie form. Yum!

Here's the recipe for them (as requested by Sue) :

Oat Biscuits
Makes approximately 24

Ingredients
150g (6oz) Porridge Oats
150g (6oz) Self Raising Flour
150g (6oz) Caster Sugar
150g (6oz) Butter
2 Tablespoons Golden Syrup
2 Tablespoons Milk

Method
1. Heat butter, syrup and milk in a saucepan until butter is melted.
2. Pour into a bowl containing the oats, flour and sugar and mix together.
3. Roll heaped-teaspoon-sized amounts of the mixture into balls and place on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Space them well as the mixture will double in size.
4. Bake in batches at 180°C (160°C for fan ovens) for about 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
5. Leave biscuits on baking tray for five minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

  4. Golden Syrup is inverted sugar syrup. The most popular brand here in the UK is Lyle's. There's a bit about it on Wikipedia - click here.

    From what I can see there isn't an absolute equivalent over there in the States.

    Hope this is of some help?!
