A Friend To Play















Fruit and Oat Cookies
from the Sweet/Dessert Ugly Binder
Makes 16

1 cup self raising flour, sifted
1 cup cornflakes
¾ cup desiccated coconut
½ cup brown sugar
1/3 cup finely chopped dried apricots
1/3 cup sultanas
150g unsalted butter, melted
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon honey

Preheat oven to moderate 180˚C. Grease and line 2 baking trays

In large bowl, combine all dry ingredients. Stir in butter, egg and honey, mixing well.

Roll 2 tablespoons of mixture into balls. Place on prepared trays, leaving 4cm space between each. Press lightly with fingertips to flatten. I find this to be way too big, instead I do one heaped teaspoon and end up with about 30 at a nice size.

Bake 10-12 minutes. Cool on trays. Store in an airtight container.

We have a kindy friend coming to play this afternoon and Offspring #1 is very “incited”. It’s very cute but somewhat concerning when he tells me that characters on tv are very “inciting” because I always wonder what they are inciting. I remember from history classes that “the peasants are revolting” but was it Buzz Lightyear, Atomic Betty or Timmy from Fairly Odd Parents who was inciting them?

These biscuits are very yummy and always a winner with guests – young or a little more mature (if I called kindy friend’s Mum OLD I think she’d be mortally offended LOL). As is becoming my theme they are easy to make, especially with little helpers, and I really like that I usually have everything I need in the cupboard.

I have decided to drop the Question Of The Day (mostly because I can't think of any good ones, or if I do think of one it's very early in the morning and I've forgotten it by the time I get to doing my blog!) but I would still love to hear your comments. I know there are some of you who read each day so why not say hello, share what your kids or grandkids are doing or did at the same ages, let me know if you have tried any of my recipes and how they worked out. And if you have just stumbled across my blog why not say hi and let me know what you think?
