A Quickie Bickie Recipe

I have had this recipe for years, it was given to everyone in the Mothers' Group I used to attend when Abbey was a wee one. 

We used to swap and share our favourite recipes. 

I came across this recipe the other day when I was flicking through my old recipe book, as you can see from this photo it now contains lots and lots of recipes - too many in fact. 

I don't ever remember making these biscuits! 

Yesterday I decided it was about time to give this recipe a go, it's only been in my recipe book for about 8 years!  And I can say I am pleased that I made these biscuits because they are simply  yummo 

and the girls just can't get enough of them!

The recipe is simple and quick and fairly healthy - great for snacks on the go or for the school lunch box!

You will need:

1 cup of wholemeal self raising flour

1 cup dessicated coconut- * I only had shredded coconut in my pantry *

200grams of chopped apricots - * I used 100gms of apricots & 100gms of dates *

1 egg

60grams butter, melted

1/2 cup golden syrup

Method:

Pre-heat oven to 180'C. Line or lightly grease a baking tray.

Mix all ingredients together.

Drop heaped teaspoons of mixture onto baking tray.

Cook for 15-20 mins.

** I am going to try a mix of dried apricot and dried apple next time!

Enjoy.
