Experimenting today came up with the following, Had some with 4-o.clock tea and found them to be very nice. Keeping this recipe for the future.
4 oz butter
4 oz lard
6 oz sugar
1 egg
10 oz plain flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons oats
Makes 26 - 28
Cream, butter, lard and sugar.
Add beaten egg.
Stir in flour, B.P. and oats.
Put good spoonfuls on a baking tray (I used a dessert spoon)
Leaving room to spread a little
Flatten each one slightly using back of a fork dipped in milk
Sprinkle each lightly with demerara sugar
Bake 25 - 30 minutes until golden.
Pre-heated oven 350.
cheers Penny.
