These are the classic British whole wheat flour biscuits that are a wonderful accompaniment to a mature cheese or even jam and marmalade.

Ingredients:

90g whole wheat flour
30g plain flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp rolled oats
60g butter
60g brown sugar
60ml milk

Method:

Cream together the sugar and the butter until light and fluffy. Meanwhile mix together the flours and baking powder in another bowl. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture then stir to combine. Add the oats and combine then add the milk a little at a time until the mixture comes to resemble a thick paste.

Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth and elastic the roll out to about 3mm thick and cut into rounds about 6cm in diameter with a pastry cutter. Transfer to lightly-greased baking trays and prick the surface with a fork.

Place in an oven pre-heated to 190°C and bake for about 15 minutes, or until golden brown all over. Allow to cool on the baking trays for 15 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an air-tight tin.
