Description

Crispy on the outside and chewy in the center, these homemade Hobnobs are the perfect oat biscuits for your afternoon tea or a cozy snack moment.


Ingredients

  • Rolled Oats: 1 cup (100g)
  • All-Purpose Flour: 3/4 cup (90g)
  • Brown Sugar: 1/2 cup (100g)
  • Baking Soda: 1/2 teaspoon
  • Salt: 1/4 teaspoon
  • Unsalted Butter: 1/2 cup (115g), melted
  • Golden Syrup or Honey: 2 tablespoons
  • Vanilla Extract: 1 teaspoon


Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the oats, flour, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt. Stir in the melted butter, golden syrup, and vanilla extract until a crumbly dough forms.
  3. Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough and gently roll into balls. Place them on the tray and flatten slightly.
  4. Assemble the Dish: Space the biscuits about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
  5. Cook to Perfection: Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the centers still look soft.
  6. Finishing Touches: Let them cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a rack to cool completely.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Serve with tea or enjoy as a snack anytime.

Notes

  • Use rolled oats, not quick oats, for best texture.
  • Golden syrup gives them a classic flavor, but honey works too.
  • Cool completely before storing to keep the crunch.
