Flakemeal Biscuits
A simple biscuit made with oats and coconut. Great if eaten plain and even better if dipped in chcoolate.
Ingredients
- 4 oz or 110g butter
- 2 oz or 55g sugar
- 5 oz or 150g flakemeal/porridge oats
- 1 oz or 30g plain flour (all-purpose flour)
- 1 oz or 30g desiccated coconut
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- chocolate for coating (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325F/160C.
- Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Mix in all the other ingredients.
- Turn onto a floured surface and knead briefly to bring the dough together.
- Roll out to a thickness of about 0.5cm. The dough can be little crumbly to work with, but bear with it and just squish it back together again if it starts to break apart.
- Cut into rounds. Place on a lined baking sheet, leaving a little room between biscuits as they will spread slightly. Bake at 325F/160C for 12-15 minutes, or until golden.
- Transfer to a wire rack and leave to cool. Dip the biscuits in melted chocolate, if you prefer.
