This recipe was passed on to me by my dear friend Mary, who used to make huge batches of these to serve with her Yorkshire Farmhouse Teas when she and her husband farmed in Yorkshire.
NIG NOG BISCUITS
1/2 cup S-R flour
1/2 cup dessicated coconut
1/2 cup oats
1/2 cup sugar
1 tblspn cold water (oops - forgot that today!)
3 oz margarine
1/2 tsp Bicarbonate of Soda
1 dessertspoon golden syrup (or treacle if you prefer).
Melt fats and syrup in pan. Mix Bicarb with water and pour onto dry ingredients. Form into small balls and bake in a moderate oven (350 deg.) for about 15 mins - I have a fan oven and they were done in 9 mins!
Enjoy.
You will be glad to hear that the baking HAS cheered me up.
It's the glorious smell that cheers the soul, I always think.
ReplyDeleteThere's something about EATING that cheers me up........
ReplyDeleteI skated over this post quickly BB as I am on a strict diet for my health and am doing very well on it. Must say that those biscuits look divine though.
ReplyDeleteAnd when it's a recipe I know well, I'M in control for once!
ReplyDeleteThey look lovely, glad it cheered you up a bit. Jane xx
ReplyDeleteOMGoodness. I must try these too! I got hooked on "Golden Syrup" a year or so back. It's so expensive to order it from Great Britain and pay horrendous shipping for it...but it's so good. I'll "treat" myself again before Christmas to use it in holiday baking.
ReplyDeleteJust what I needed for the girls when they arrive home from school, I've a batch in the oven as I type...excellent ...THANK YOU
ReplyDeleteGlad the baking cheered you up :0)
Oh and these work quite nicely if you forget to add the sugar..which is just as well as that's what I did....
