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.
I love your olive-shaped beads - they are so perfect! Also, did you make the biscuits? Care to share the recipe? : )

Thank you for the bead compliments, Sue!
ReplyDeleteYes - I did make the biscuits. I shall edit the post to include the recipe. :o)
Thanks for the recipe - for us yanks, what is Golden Syrup? Thanks! : )
ReplyDeleteGolden 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.
ReplyDeleteFrom what I can see there isn't an absolute equivalent over there in the States.
Hope this is of some help?!
Just found this website which has some suggestions for Golden Syrup substitutes. :o)
ReplyDeleteWill definitely have a go at these - thanks for the recipe! Haven't made biscuits since I was at school :)
ReplyDeleteThey're quick and easy to make, Carolyn but there is one problem with them - they're pretty moreish!
ReplyDeleteYour biccies look delicious Laura, I might just give them a go ;)
ReplyDeleteI can agree with you, they are very moreish. Just made a batch and half have disappeared back to the office with my hubby - must be good :)
ReplyDeleteOh good! Glad he likes them. :o)
