CORNFLAKE BISCUITS

Preheat your oven to 180 deg C. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Cream 120gm of softened marg /butter with 100gm of castor sugar until light and fluffy . Beat in 1 lightly beaten egg then 1 dsp of golden syrup . Stir 150gm of self raising flour in , followed by 60 gm of chopped walnuts and 80 gm of chopped dates . Continue to stir to form a stiff mixture . Measure out 45 gm of cornflakes and then lightly crush them into relatively smaller pieces . This recipe is great to use up slightly stale cereal or the smaller crumb usually found at the bottom of the box . Roll heaped teaspoons of the mixture in the crushed cornflakes . Place them on the prepared tray 5cm apart then flatten slightly Bake for 10- 12 minutes until golden , keep a close eye on the biscuits as they burn easily Allow to cool slightly before removing to a wire rack to cool completely .
