Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 170 °C and line a baking tray with baking paper.
  2. Mix the oats, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.
  3. Add the cold butter cut into cubes and rub it in with your fingertips until the mixture is crumbly.
  4. Add the syrup, then the cold water, just enough to form a dough that holds together.
  5. Roll the dough out thinly, to about 3 to 4 mm thick, then cut out rounds with a glass.
  6. Place the biscuits on the tray and prick them with a fork.
  7. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until golden around the edges.
  8. Let them cool on a wire rack: they become crisp as they cool.

Variations and tips

Chocolate version. Add the chopped dark chocolate to the dough before cutting it out.
