These crisp biscuits are extremely simple and quick to make, satisfying a sudden craving for a sweet snack.

100 ml melted butter
300 ml regular rolled oats
100 ml sugar
½ - 1 tbsp flour

Pour the warm, melted butter in a bowl. Add the rolled oats, sugar and flour and mix thoroughly.

Spread the crumbly mixture on a baking sheet (about 23 × 30 cm) covered with parchment paper, pressing lightly to form a 5 - 7 mm thick layer.

Bake at 200 °C for about 8 - 14 minutes, or until the edges of the oat mixture start to brown and the centre is golden brown.

Let cool on the baking sheet and when still slightly warm, cut into squares (see the picture on right). Cut off strips from the edges if they have turned too brown.
