These high energy biscuits are standard New Zealand tramping/hiking fare. They don't crumble easily and will last for weeks, as well as being simply scrumptious!
Ingredients:
250 g butter
250 g (1½ c) brown sugar
½ tin (200g) condensed milk
250 g (2 c) flour
190 g (2 c) rolled oats
2 tsp baking powder
45 g (½ c) coconut
Melt butter, sugar and condensed milk together in large pot. Add flour, rolled oats and baking powder. Divide in half. Spread each half onto a greased tray – spread with a knife into 30 X 30 cm square, keeping edges neat and straight. Repeat with the other half.
Cook at 150° C for 10-15 minutes till light to golden brown. Cut each tray into 25 biscuits – 5 X 5.
Gently loosen, move and leave on tray. To harden biscuits a little more, return to oven which has been turned off – leave for another 5-10 minutes.
Options: Add ½ c chopped nuts and/or ½ c currants.
