Budget Bites: Hobnobs (3p each)

hobnobs

As James will tell anyone I’m a complete biscuit addict – they’re my favourite food and I love them in the afternoon with a cup of tea. I decided to make one of my favourite varieties; hobnobs!

The sweet, oaty crunch you get with a hobnob is perfect!

225g sugar – 18p
225g porridge oats – 16p

Method:

  1. Preheat the oven to 180c.
  2. Mix the flour, sugar and oats together.
  3. In a pan, on a low heat, melt the margarine, syrup and water. Once it’s completely melted add the bicarbonate of soda.
  4. Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour the melted mixture in. Stir well until all of the ingredients are combined in a sticky, oaty ball.DSC_0990
  5. Take little handfuls and roll into small balls and place onto a greased baking tray.
  6. Once all the mixture has been made into balls, flatten each one either with your hand or a fork.
  7. Put into the oven on a middle shelf for around 15  minutes. The biscuits should be a golden colour, not brown when they are ready.
  8. Enjoy!

These biscuits are delicious and keep well in an air tight container for at least a week (if they last that long!).

They make the perfect addition to an afternoon tea break!

**Biscuits can be bought for cheaper than this but I bet they don’t taste half as delicious and are probably full of chemical ingredients.**
