Simple Oat Biscuits

Grease proof a large baking tray.

Add to a saucepan and gently heat the following:
125g butter or Margarine
1 tbsp golden syrup/ honey
2 tbsp water

Pre heat an oven to 180ºC or 150ºC fan.

Mix in a bowl:
1tsp bicarb soda
1¾ cup rolled oats
¾ cup sugar
½ cup self raising

Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix well.

Add to the tray so the mix is about 1 to 2 cm deep. If it doesn't reach the side no worries. Smooth the top. Cook for about 15 minutes. Check after 5 minutes if browning then put on lower shelf and lower heat as it's cooking too fast (note for the future about the heat you need). The mix should be spongy to the touch and only slightly browning.

Cut into squares when done.

Note
Put golf ball sized portions of mix on a greased baking tray to get round biscuits.
