Ingredients

  • 150 g Caster Sugar
  • 150 g Self Raising Flour
  • 120 g Oats rolled or porridge oats
  • ½ tsp Baking Powder
  • 150 g Butter
  • 1 tbsp Milk
  • 2 tbsp Golden Syrup

Instructions

  • In a large bowl cream the butter and sugar until light and creamy. We use a mixer but you can do this by hand if you would prefer
  • Add the milk and golden syrup and mix into the mixture well
  • Sieve the flour and baking powder into the bowl and fold in gently with a metal spoon
  • Add the oats, fold in with the metal spoon and then place the entire mixture into the fridge for at least half an hour
  • When ready to cook, heat the oven to 150°C, Gas Mark 2
  • When the oven is hot, make the mixture into little balls (just a bit smaller than a golf ball) and place on a baking tray lined with baking parchment about 5cm apart. The balls will spread when cooked.
  • When the tray is full cook the biscuits for 25 minutes and then check for colour. This process cannot be rushed as it will just result in burnt biscuits
  • When cooked leave on the baking tray for 10 minutes to start to cool and then transfer to a cooling rack.
  • Once completely cool, store in an airtight container and eat within a week.
