Mary Berry Oat Biscuits Recipe

Mary Berry Oat Biscuits

Oat biscuits are simple cookies made with rolled oats, flour, butter, and sugar, often with a hint of golden syrup for added flavor. Mary Berry’s recipe ensures a crisp, golden biscuit with just the right amount of chewiness.

Ingredients

  • Rolled oats: 100g (1 cup).
  • All-purpose flour: 100g (¾ cup).
  • Butter: 100g (½ cup), softened.
  • Caster sugar: 75g (⅓ cup).
  • Golden syrup: 1 tablespoon.
  • Baking powder: ½ teaspoon.
  • Salt: A pinch.

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Step 2: Mix the dry ingredients

In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to ensure the baking powder is evenly distributed.

Step 3: Cream the butter and sugar

In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter and caster sugar together until light and fluffy. Stir in the golden syrup until fully incorporated.

Step 4: Combine wet and dry ingredients

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture. Mix until you have a soft dough.

Step 5: Shape the biscuits

Scoop small portions of dough (about a tablespoon) and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking tray, leaving space between each ball. Flatten each slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers.

Step 6: Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown around the edges.

Step 7: Cool and serve

Remove the tray from the oven and let the biscuits cool on the baking tray for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve and enjoy!
