I’m back! With biscuits!

24th May 2020

Well, it’s been a while!

Last year was to be the year I took up the reins after completing my Masters degree and got down to being proper arty in my career. Alas, it was not to be.

I found I was overwhelmed by many factors all arriving at the same time - the end of my research creative practice, the end of my job in the university library, the start of almost-getting-near-to-semi-retirement, empty nest, BREXIT, and then a breast cancer diagnosis. And now, coronavirus.

I‘ve felt very up and down. I’m sure many of you will have felt the same for lots of different reasons. Suffice to say, I’m now on an upward slope and to prove it here’s my first post in absolutely ages. I’m keeping it simple.

I’ve been asked for this recipe many times, so here it is. I copied it from the internet eons ago and all credit goes to Twink, whoever you may be.

Twink’s Hobnob Recipe


Ingredients
8oz sr flour
8oz sugar
8oz porridge oats

8oz margarine
1tbsp golden syrup
1tbsp hot water

1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda

Instructions

·  Mix the flour, oats and sugar.

·  Melt margarine, syrup and water in a pan. 

·  Stir in bicarbonate of soda.

· Add to dry mix. 

·  Mix well and make into smallish balls which you then put on a greased tray and flatten slightly with a fork.

The aim is to get them golden in the oven, not brown.
