Oaty Biscuits

These oaty biscuits a firm favourite in my house and are devoured far too quickly!  As my Mum said the other day, “there’s only one thing wrong with them; they’re too more-ish!”  The recipe is super simple and a batch of 10-15 can be whipped up in a matter of minutes.  They also contain one of my favourite ingredients – golden syrup!  Yum!

Oaty Biscuits – makes about 10-15 (depending on how big you make them)
100g butter
100g caster sugar
2 tbsp golden syrup
100g plain flour
100g rolled oats
1/2 tsp baking powder

• Pre-heat oven to 180C/350F/Gas mark 4.
• Melt the butter, sugar and golden syrup in a pan over a low heat.
• Once melted add the flour, oats and baking powder to the mixture and stir until combined.
• Spoon the mixture into balls and place on a baking tray lined with baking parchment.
• Bake on the middle shelf until they’re light golden brown, flatten with a fish slice or fork half way through.  (Mine take about 10-15 minutes, depending on the size).
• Slide the baking parchment, with the biscuits still on, onto a cool working surface and leave to cool.

PS.  This is a great recipe for those who can’t eat treats that contain eggs!
