Hobnob Recipe

These are my husband's favourites. He bugs me all the time to bake them for him, so as he's being good at the moment making a radiator cover for the hallway and a wardrobe for the spare room, I thought I'd treat him to a batch :o) lol!  I was going to make an apple cake as well, but decided that could wait until Saturday. So I whipped up a batch of hobnobs and a warming beef stew and dumplings for tea, comfort food indeed.

Hobnob Recipe - Makes 45 (although the size I make them it's more like 35)

8oz/225g self raising flour

8oz/225g sugar (I use vanilla sugar, but any will do)

8oz/225g porridge oats

8oz/225g butter

1 tbsp golden syrup or honey

1 tbsp water

1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda

Mix the dry ingredients together, melt butter, syrup and water very gently, let it cool slightly then pour on dry ingredients. Mix well and form into balls the size of walnuts. Put on a greased tray and flatten with a fork dipped in cold water. Bake at 180 or gas 4 for 15 mins. Leave on a tray a minute then put to cool on a rack.

You could also melt some chocolate and make choccy hobnobs yummy.

It's definitely a good post week this week. The lovely Anita sent me this yummy giant chocolate heart hobnob that she'd made today as a Thank you. Anita is getting married in a few months time and I lent her my garter for her something borrowed and blue. Bless you sweetie, I really didn't expect anything in return, its just nice to help.

I've eaten nearly half already, but it was spotted by some strange brown and white hairy critter with long wavy ears, AAAAAGGGGGHHHH, what could it be????????

Can you guess who it is yet?

Well I had to share a bit with my little man didn't I. Woody loves hobnobs.

I did dunk a bit in my tea, it just has to be done, don't you think? I wonder if the queen dunks????

EDIT

I've added a biscuit dunking poll on my sidebar for a laugh. xxx
