If you have ever had a Hob Nob biscuit here in the UK, then you'll know just how yummy and more-ish they are. Here's a recipe that makes a biscuit that has just the same satisfying crunch about it. Be warned..they won't last very long, and I'm not even going to begin to guess how many calories per biscuit.
Oaty Crunch Biscuits
8oz Self Raising flour
(or use plain flour and add 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder)
8oz sugar
8oz porridge oats
8oz margarine or butter(butter will be tastier)
1tbsp golden syrup
1tbsp hot water
Instructions
Mix the flour, sugar and oats together.
Melt the margarine and the syrup and the water, and then add to the dry mix.
Roll into small balls then put on a greased tray and flatten with a fork. The flatter you make the biscuit, the crunchier it will be. Make sure to leave ample room between the biscuits.
Bake at 180 degrees celcius for about 15 minutes or until they are a nice golden colour. (Don't leave them in too long like I did with one of my trays and I ended up with dark brown rather too crunchie biscuits - oops)
The recipe made loads. I didn't count how many exactly , but it must have been around 40 biscuits. Oh, and then a friend suggested I add some chocolate, and well, now they are even worse - or better depending on how you look at it!
Enjoy!

I have made them - quick and easy! I halved the ingredients - wish I hadn't, they're almost all gone already.
