Ingredients
125 g butter, plus extra to grease
125 g self-raising flour
125 g light brown soft sugar
125 g porridge oats
1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1 Tbsp. golden syrup
125 g milk or plain chocolate, melted
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan) mark 4 and lightly grease two baking sheets. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, oats and soda. Set aside.
Step 2
In a small pan, melt butter and golden syrup. Add to the dry mixture and combine.
Step 3
Divide mixture into 16 and squeeze each portion into a ball. Arrange on the baking sheets, spacing apart, and squash down a little. Bake for 15-18min until golden. Leave to cool for 3min on the trays, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 4
Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water (or microwave on full power in a glass bowl for 20sec bursts). Using a pastry brush, paint half of each biscuit, on the top and bottom, with chocolate. Alternatively, drizzle the chocolate liberally over biscuits. Transfer biscuits to a wire rack and allow to set before serving.
If you prefer a sweeter biscuit, then use white chocolate instead. A mix of chocolates would also be nice.
