My grandma's trusty recipe and a Northern Irish staple at every church tea or function!
Sometimes you can't beat the classics and l'm always tempted by a flakemeal biscuit - especially when they're dipped in chocolate.
These are so easy to make, literally 10 minutes to make and 12 minutes to bake and the job is done - great to make with kids! Now would you choose a plain or a chocolate covered flakemeal biscuit?!

INGREDIENTS…
Makes 14-16
110g butter
55g caster sugar
1 dessertspoon golden syrup
150g porridge oats
60g plain flour
15g desiccated coconut
Pinch baking soda
Pinch salt
100g milk/dark/white chocolate for decorating
INSTRUCTIONS…
Preheat the oven to 160C. Cream the butter and sugar for a few minutes until light and fluffy with a stand/hand mixer.
Add the syrup and mix. Add all the other ingredients and mix to combine.
Sprinkle your work surface with flour and bring the dough together.
Roll out with a rolling pin to about 0.5cm thick. Cut out circles with a plain cutter (or a small glass if you don't have a cutter).
Place on a lined baking tray, leaving some room between them as they will spread slightly.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden.
Transfer the biscuits on the baking paper on to a cooling rack and leave to cool completely.
Enjoy plain or dunk one half of the biscuits into melted chocolate and cool on a sheet of baking paper if you can wait before eating them!
Keep in an airtight container.
