As the snow quietly descended over our part of Lancashire on Sunday afternoon, Dora and Jemima, the two younger members of the GardeningWithChildren team got out the cook books for an afternoon of baking.
Choosing a Recipe
They chose to make some very scrummy oaty biscuits which are a bit of a family favourite and also go down very well in the office! They are also so easy to make, so hope you enjoy.

125g plain flour
110g brown sugar
150g margarine or butter

1/2 teasp baking soda
1/2 teasp vanilla essence
handfull of chocolate chips, raisens, or anything else you fancy
What to do
Stirring the Mixture

- Take a spoonful of mixture at a time, make into a biscuity shape and place on a greased baking tray.
