You can enjoy them within half an hour of deciding to make them. By Tony Jackman · Published 31 August 2020, 12:34 SAST ## Content **Ingredients** 150 g oats 150 g flour 2 tsp baking powder 150 g butter 3 Tbs golden syrup 2 tsp milk 2 Tbs cooking oil **Method** Preheat the oven to 180℃. Put butter, golden syrup, and milk in a pot and heat until butter is melted, stirring. Sift the flour into a bowl, add oats and baking powder, mix, then pour in the contents of the pot and form it into a dough ball with your hands. It will be quite crumbly, so add a little oil until it is no longer crumbly (I added about 2 Tbs). Grease an oven sheet. Break off chunks of dough and roll them into balls, then place on the oven pan and pat down to form a roundish biscuit shape. Bake for about 12 minutes. They’re great with a nice cup of tea. **DM/TGIFood** *Our Thank God It’s Food newsletter is sent to subscribers every Friday at 6pm, and published on the*[*TGIFood platform*](https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/section/tgifood/)*on Daily Maverick.
