Flakemeal
biscuits
Some
time ago, my saxophone teacher’s sister, Padraigin
sent me her family recipe for Flakemeal
biscuits all the way from Ireland. I’ve been saving this recipe to make as
a special treat for St Patrick’s Day on 17 March. It makes about 36 biscuits
and the recipe is so simple but very tasty!
Tommy’s Flakemeal biscuits
225g/8oz Flakemeal (Porridge Oats)
225g/8oz
butter or margarine
110g/4oz plain flour
110g/4oz sugar
75g/3oz coconut
Put everything in a bowl and mix well. Make
into dough. Roll out onto a floured surface about ½ to 1 cm thick. Cut out rounds
with a cutter. Bake for 30 minutes at 180C/Mark 4/350F.
She
is very gifted at sewing and makes beautifully crocheted hats and blankets.
