Not a million miles from our rock cakes …. could you post up the recipe, please, Kaz? We've certainly got raisins in stock, not sure about the rolled oats though.

[JoM]

I’d love the recipe please Kaz!

[Kaz]

Happy to

I need to crack on with the ironing now, I took a tea and cookie break that's lasted a bit too long already

In about an hour?

[JoM]

Whenever you’re ready, I daren’t bake anything else for a few days

[Kaz]

Jo, nor me now

I've finished the ironing, so here goes

Oat and raisin cookies

100g butter
25g light brown sugar
2 x tablespoons of clear honey
100g SR flour
50g raisins
1/4 teaspoon of mixed spice
100g oats

Pre-heat the oven to 150°C fan oven, then line a baking tray with greaseproof paper, or grease the baking tray.

Microwave the butter, sugar and honey for 1 minute, or until melted.

Stir in flour, spice, oats and raisins.

Mix in well, then leave to cool for 5 minutes.

Roll into 12 balls, and flatten them out on the baking tray.

Bake for 15 minutes, then cool

I didn't have any mixed spice, so used ginger instead. It just warmed them up a little, without tasting too gingery

Thanks, Kaz, I've printed that off for Mrs O.

Interesting that it uses honey rather than golden syrup, which most similar recipes have.

[Kaz]

The honey makes them, I think Hope you enjoy them

At last, something to make with the rolled oats I have left over from making loads of ready-brek. And I have raisins soaking in voddy. Yummy.

Can I swap the mixed slice for mixed spice - it's all I have in?

No
