Wholesome oats add loads of goodness to these chewy treats.
Ingredients
150 g butter, chopped
1?2 cup (115 g) caster sugar
2 tablespoons golden syrup or treacle
1 1?2 cups (150 g) rolled oats
1 cup (150 g) plain flour
1?2 cup (45 g) desiccated coconut
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 160°C. Line two baking trays with baking paper.
Combine the butter, sugar and golden syrup in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until melted, then remove from the heat.
Mix the oats, flour and coconut in a bowl.
Combine the bicarbonate of soda with 1 tablespoon boiling water. Add to the butter mixture, then stir through the dry ingredients until well combined.
Spoon tablespoons of the mixture onto the baking trays. Flatten them slightly with the back of a spoon, allowing room for spreading. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until golden.
Remove from the oven and leave to cool on the baking trays.
Here's a great new way to scramble eggs – cooked in a double saucepan or in a bowl over simmering water, without any butter, then mixed with crème fraîche for a creamy result. With strips of smoked salmon and fresh dill, this is the ultimate luxury brunch dish.
Flakes of smoked trout, cream cheese and fresh dill combine to make a well–flavoured filling for this light spinach roll. It is much simpler to make than it looks – just make sure that the spinach is squeezed really dry before adding to the sauce base.
The hollows in hard–boiled egg halves make perfect containers for a tasty filling – here carrot and chive – and the eggs look attractive served on a bed of ribbon vegetables and lamb's lettuce. All you need is some bread to make a satisfying lunch.
For these delectable chilli–flavoured omelettes, the eggs are whisked with cornflour to give them a slightly firmer texture, suitable for folding round a colourful and tasty filling of stir–fried vegetables and rice noodles.
