Flakemeal Biscuits

I have tried many recipes looking for the definitive oaty biscuit...I may have found it.


Ingredients
225g/8oz Porridge Oats- I use oats sold in a bag rather than in a box...I  could be wrong but I imagine boxed oats taste like cardboard
225g/8oz butter or margarine(with this amount in a recipe, butter has the better flavour)
110g/4oz  plain flour
110g/4oz  sugar
75g/3oz  coconut

Preheat oven to 180c.

Method
I am going to do this by hand rather then by mixer, sometimes its nice to do this.
 
Cream together butter and sugar with a fork.




Add the flour and bind together, first with a wooden spoon then get in there with your hands when it is less sticky.


Add the oats and coconut and knead until the mixture becomes an oaty dough ball.




Cover in cling film and refrigerate for 20 minutes to solidify the butter.


 

Roll out on a well floured surface to about 1cm to 1.5 cm thick and use a cutter to cut out biscuits.


 
 
Bake on a lined baking tray at 180c for 20-25 mins until golden.





Cool on a wire rack.
 
These biscuits are delicious on their own and if it ain't broke why fix it, but being a chocoholic, I couldn't help myself......still delicious though hee hee.
