Porridge Biscuits As made by my Gran

Now Gran only works in imperial measurements...

Ingredients:

8oz marg
8oz caster sugar
2 tablespoons Golden Syrup
2 level teaspoons bicarb of soda
2 level teaspoons hot water
8oz self raising flour
8oz Porridge oats

Method:

Melt marg, sugar and syrup in a pan.

Mix hot water and bicarb in a cup and add to mix. Should go all frothy now.

Put oats and flour in a mixing bowl, add melted ingredients and mix well. Roll into little balls and flatten them slightly onto a baking tin or stone.

Bake at 180 until golden brown. Usually about ten minutes.

Slather in melted chocolate. I swear by Tesco value cooking milk chocolate for these. Is cheap as chips and delish. My gran just puts choccy buttons on top of them as they come out of oven and leaves them to melt.

Makes 16 or so big biccies xx

Self raising! I have copied the recipe as my gran wrote it down and I even had to ring and ask which flour. Silly meee xx
