Ingredients
The following ingredients have 14 Servings
- 250 gm wholemeal self-raising flour (1 2/3 cups)
- 250 gm quick-cook oats
- 250 gm brown sugar
- 230 gm butter, coarsely chopped
- 2 tbsp golden syrup
- ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 200 gm dark chocolate (55% cocoa solids), finely chopped
Instruction
- Preheat oven to 180C and line 2 oven trays with baking paper. Combine flour, oats and sugar in a large bowl, stir in ½ tsp sea salt flakes and form a well in the centre.
- Stir butter, golden syrup and 1 tbsp water in a saucepan over low heat until butter melts. Stir in bicarbonate of soda, then add to oat mixture and stir until mixture comes together. Set aside to cool, then roll between 2 sheets of baking paper until 4mm thick. Cut out 11cm-diameter rounds (re-roll scraps) and carefully transfer to prepared trays.
- Bake in batches, swapping trays halfway through cooking, until biscuits are golden and crisp (12-14 minutes). Cool on trays for 5 minutes, then carefully transfer to a cooling rack.
- Melt chocolate in a bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Cool briefly, then dip one side of each biscuit in chocolate, shaking to remove excess. Place biscuits chocolate-side up on a wire rack until set. Hob-nobs will keep refrigerated in an airtight container or in a cool place for 5 days.
