Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and line a few baking trays with baking parchment. Melt the butter, condensed milk and syrup in a large saucepan.

  • step 2

    Very roughly crush the cornflakes in a bowl with your hands, then stir in the oats, flour, custard powder and bicarb, and mix really well.

  • step 3

    Once everything in the pan has melted, take it off the heat and stir in the dry ingredients. Roughly scoop heaped tablespoonfuls of the mixture onto the baking sheets. Crumble over a few more cornflakes, then squash to flatten a bit with your hands. Bake for 12-15 mins until golden. Cool on a wire rack.

Disappointing! Really bland and tasteless, stodgy and not crunchy at all. I have half dipped them in chocolate, so that we can try and eat them and not throw them away. I think I will end up using them as a crumble topping, as another reader suggests. They are not sweet enough- won't bother making…

Ok biscuit; very heavy. More like a flapjack than a biscuit. Some friends who tried them said they made ideal breakfast biscuits. On the advice of these comments I used only half of the bicarb; worked well for me. I also used an ice-cream scoop to measure out the mix: next time I'll use a smaller…
