Is there anything more comforting than a glass of milk and a wee treat before bed? These Bedtime Biscuits will surely become your favourite night time indulgence - filled with oats, the sweet tang of cranberries and the soothing malt flavour of Ovaltine.
Each biscuit is a little slice of comfort, making them the perfect evening companion.
Begin by placing the butter, both soft and dark brown sugars and golden syrup into a saucepan. Heat the mixture gently, stirring until the sugars have dissolved and the ingredients are well combined.
Once done, remove the pan from the heat and set it aside to cool slightly.
Preheat your oven to 180ยฐc/160ยฐc fan
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour, rolled oats, bicarbonate of soda and Horlicks.
Once the melted butter and sugar mixture has cooled a little, pour it into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir everything together until completely combined.
Gently fold in the cranberries until they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Take the biscuit mixture and roll it into about 16 equal-sized balls.
Arrange the balls on two baking sheets, ensuring there is enough space between each to allow for spreading.
Bake for 18 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden and set. After baking, let the biscuits cool on the sheets for a moment before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
