Recipes

Here are the recipes for the goodies I made on Thursday, so many people requested them I thought making a post was my best bet!

Oat Cookies
Ingredients:

75g (3 oz) self raising flour
75g (3 oz) porridge oats
75g (3 oz) sugar (I used dark brown sugar but any kind will work)
75g (3 oz) butter
1 tablespoon golden syrup
1 tablespoon milk

I also added 45g M&Ms but I think you could add in any candy or dried fruit/nuts!

Directions:

– Preheat oven to 180 C / Gas mark 4. Line a baking tray with baking parchment.
– Sift the flour into a bowl. Mix in rolled oats and sugar.
– Melt butter, syrup and milk in a saucepan and stir until heated through. Add to the premixed dry ingredients. Mix until well combined. Spoon onto a baking tray and shape into rounds.
– Bake in preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Leave to cool for 5 minutes before removing from tray.

Rice Krispy Treats
Ingredients:

•100g toffee (individual sweets or a slab) I hope to experiment with varying flavours
•100g butter or margarine
•100g marshmallows
•100g Rice Krispies

Directions:

– Grease a shallow 28x18cm tin with butter or margarine on a paper towel.
If you have a slab of toffee, put it in a plastic bag and break it up with a rolling pin.
– Put the toffee, butter or margarine and marshmallows into a pan. Melt them gently over a low heat, stirring all the time.
– When melted and blended, take the pan off the heat and gently stir in the Rice Krispies.
– Spoon the mixture into the tin and press it gently with the back of a metal spoon. Leave to set then cut into squares.

Have fun trying these out, and taste testing of course!
I hope to do a lot more baking in the near future, I’ve re-discovered how much I love being in the kitchen.

Do you have a favourite recipe? Feel free to share it with me, I’d love to try out some new things!

I hope everyone is having a fantastic weekend
