Oaty Lace Biscuits
These buttery biscuits are incredibly delicious, crunchy and oh-so-moreish. One is never enough! Be sure to leave adequate room between the biscuits, as they spread a lot whilst baking.

These were just delish! One problem -- I shall eat them all if I don't put them away quickly. - 27 Oct 2011
These biscuits are totally gorgeous. As I have a fan oven, I baked them at 160 degrees c instead and they came out crunchy just perfect. Everyone loves them! - 03 Jun 2017
These tasted beautiful - but there were major problems with the recipe. I tried making this 3 times. Each time, the resulting biscuits were too soft to hold together, and broke into 'biscuit bits'. They also spread ridiculously in the oven, and stuck to the sheet or baking paper, despite all measures after the first time to prevent this. The taste alone saved them, because it was so wonderful! But definitely needs tweaking so these make actual biscuits, not crumbs. - 23 Oct 2012
