Abbey crunch biscuits (just like Hobnobs) other oaty biscuits are available :)

I think with the next batch, I might adjust the temp down by 10 degrees to 140 for my fan oven. They have a definite bite to them, which is good as most of my biccies normally turn out like flat cakes!!

Mine are scrummie too! I got twenty seven with a "taster" size spare. I used a small ice-cream scoop to measure amounts then halved each ball and rolled by hand. Might make some of my variation ideas over the weekend. *Note to self, buy golden syrup, more oats, chocolate ......
Thanks Scary - this recipe has been given the honour of being copied into my notebook!xx

They look so good I'm going to have a go! Got hold of some syrup yesterday in Super U!!!

Brilliant news Patch,

I fear that I could stock a shop with Golden Syrup, Treacle, Muscavado sugar and all the other things I can't get here. You'd think there is a siege on whenever I go back to UK shopping

[Patchninja]

I used some sucre vergeoise which is the really dark brown sugar mixed with some white and they are good!!! Brilliant recipe, Scarey. I can also confirm that they're very good for breakfast

Do you think honey will work ok instead of syrup?

[scarey55]

I don't see why not - worth a try.

Nic made some as per recipe yesterday. We now have quite a lot of biscuits. Although not as many as the recipe said so they are huge.
Very nice though! The recipe is a keeper!

This is very similar to a recipe I use though it uses half a tin of condensed milk and the kids like raisins on theirs!

225g butter,
225g sugar.
170g condensed milk
200g oats
150g SR flour
150g raisins
Half teaspoon cinnamon

[scarey55]

Sounds lovely Scarlet - especially with the cinnamon in it

[Scarlet]

They are not so good if you leave your son to make them!! Xbox calling...

[scarey55]

Oh dear!

[Jeanied]

Today I made a batch of these for my brother - several were scoffed by him warm from the cooling rack and pronounced delicious. Great recipe!

[chris]

I shall be attempting some shortly !
