Oat and Raisin Cookies

Name: Oat and Raisin Cookies
Ingredients: 1 cup oats; 1 cup flour; ¾ cup sugar; 150g butter; raisins

What you need

Salt, pepper, water and oil don’t count. Mom always had those.

Cream butter and sugar, mix in flour, oats, raisins and a teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda. Roll balls, flatten slightly, bake twelve minutes.

The dough is stiffer than you expect and needs a proper spoon and some arm.

Soak the raisins in hot water ten minutes first. Dry ones go hard as stones.
