Anas Biscuits With Maize Flour And Oats Recipes

ANA'S BISCUITS WITH MAIZE FLOUR AND OATS

Steps:

• Pour all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well until you get a soft dough.
• Form little bolls the size of a walnut and push them with the palm of your hand on top of the oats so you flatten them. Put the biscuits on a tray lined with baking paper and bake for 10-15 minutes at 180C.
• When taking the biscuits out of the oven they will be slightly soft but will get crunchy when cooled.
• I made half of the biscuits with oats and the other half I have decorated with icing sugar. ENJOY!!!
