This is probably the 1st recipe that I ever baked. My Mum made them extra special by adding seeds and I now also sometimes add choc chips or cranberries. The baking tray which I use is 22cm x 35cm
CRUNCHIES
160 Grams Margarine
20 ml golden syrup
¾ Cups sugar
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda (Baking soda)
1 Cup coconut
80 ml seeds (sunflower, sesame, poppy or a mixture)
1 Cup flour
2 Cups oats
pinch salt
1) Melt margarine, syrup and sugar. Do not boil
2) Mix dry ingredients well together
3) Add bicarbonate soda to liquid and stir
4) Add liquid to dry mix and stir well
5) Bake for 20 mins at 180
6) While still hot cut into squares
For a nice variation add about half a cup of choc chips or cranberries.
I have always iced my crunchies with a water icing glaze, I make water icing by combining about a cup of icing sugar with a little water (for a chocolate variation add about 15 ml of cocoa), spread the glaze over the top before cutting,
I would have to leave out the baking soda as I can taste even the tiniest amount and it makes me *gak*
sure they would still be great, wow you have sensitive taste buds. Let me know how they turn out without if you try
Will do 🙂
