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!
This recipe makes 28 chunky biscuits and they price up at 3p each or 85p for the batch.
Ingredients:
225g self raising flour – 7p
225g sugar – 18p
225g porridge oats – 16p
225g margarine – 38p
1tbsp golden syrup – 5p
1tbsp hot water - free
1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda – 1p
Method:
- Preheat the oven to 180c.
- Mix the flour, sugar and oats together.
- In a pan, on a low heat, melt the margarine, syrup and water. Once it’s completely melted add the bicarbonate of soda.
- 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.
- Take little handfuls and roll into small balls and place onto a greased baking tray.
- Once all the mixture has been made into balls, flatten each one either with your hand or a fork.
- 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.
- 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.**
