These went down a treat at Rosemary's venue yesterday, so here's how I make them:
Ingredients:
175g softened butter
175g soft brown sugar
225g plain flour
100g oats
1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup of dried apricots, soaked in hot water until soft then chopped into small pieces
1/2 cup raisins or sultanas
grated rind of 1/2 a lemon
Beat the softened butter with the sugar until well combined. Add all other ingredients and mix well. Spread the mixture in a greased 20x30cm (8x12inch) baking tin, press down to flatten. Mark out squares to make easier to cut when cooked. Bake for 25 - 30 minutes in a pre-heated moderate oven. Leave to cool before cutting into squares. Sprinkle with caster sugar.
Variation - use dates instead of apricots if preferred.
That's it - nice and easy and delicious.
