Making HobNob biscuits at home

[WendyS]

I'm rather partial to HobnOb biscuits which are oat based.

Does anybody have a sweet oat biscuit receipe I could try at home in an attempt to replicate them. Thanks.

I make biscuits now and again as my son is partial to a bit of home baking ! These are nice...
8oz butter
4oz soft light brown sugar
4oz caster sugar
large egg lightly beaten
1tsp vanilla essence
8oz plain flour
1tsp baking powder
half tsp bicarb
4oz rolled oats
3oz desiccated coconut

preheat oven 180C
Cream butter and
sugar.Gradually stir in the egg and vanilla and beat well.Sift the flour bicarb and baking powder into another bowl then add to the creamed mixtureand beat until smooth.Fold in the oats and coconut.Put heaped teaspoons of the mixture on greased baking tray and flatten them down slightly with the heel of your hand.
Bake 15 mins until golden brown.Cool or jump about with a nice hot one straight from the oven!

oooh, try these. My great aunt used to make them and they are to die for! They do go a wee bit soft easily, which means you either have to eat them all (no trouble believe me!) or use them as a crumble topping. Just squash them up over fruit and they go all golden and lovely in the oven...and either way they SO easy to make!

Don't be freaked out by the lard thing if you are veggie or just more modern. You can use baking margarine instead.
Enjoy!
