McVitie's Hobnobs Milk Chocolate Biscuits, 262 g (Pack of 1)

Product Information

Flour – Self raising flour is best but if you don’t have any, you can use 125g of plain flour and 1.5 tsp of baking powder instead. The tagline "Chocolate now has Hobnobs underneath" was used for the introduction in the UK of chocolate Hobnobs. Heat the oven to 325 F. Pan-spray or line two half-sheet pans with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. 2. Stir in the oats, flour and baking powder and give it a good mix until you can form a ball with the mix.

Really easy! Really good! All of the suggestions in the user comments are useful. Gently pulsing the oats in the food processor improves texture and mixing. I generally don't use shortening when baking these, but doing so will up the "crunch" of the cookie. And I make them smaller, it doesn't improve their quality in anyway. Just helps w/ feeding the clan. Also, make sure your oats haven't sat on the shelf too long. I don't notice when eating them as hot cereal. But I do notice when they're baked in a cookie.These hobnobs are ten times better than the ones you can buy, which at the moment is a bonus because you might not be able to buy them 🙂 .

In a microwave-safe medium bowl, melt the chocolate and oil in the microwave in 30-second spurts, stirring after each, until smooth. 8. Add the flour, baking soda and salt, and paddle on low speed just until the dough comes together, no longer than 1 minute. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula. 5. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter, sugar and honey on medium-high for 2 to 3 minutes until well-combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, add the oats, milk and vanilla, and beat until smooth. 4. Super easy to make but I always underestimate how much they spread. Sometimes I substitute 1/3 of white sugar for brown, added 1/2t cinnamon, and 2c oats and 1c flour

Homemade Chocolate Hobnobs are the perfect treat. Easy to make, tasty, filled with yummy oats, and covered in smooth chocolate. There’s nothing better dunked in tea! Light Brown Sugar: You can use light brown sugar; dark brown sugar is a good alternative. If you only have caster sugar, then you can use that too.I've made these many times as my husband adores hobnobs but they are sometimes hard for us to find. This recipe has always been a hit. I found it difficult to mix the dry into the wet. It was like the oatmeal wouldn't fully incorporate. On my latest batch, I pulsed the oatmeal in a processor a few times. Didn't make it a powder, just smoothed it out. It resulted in biscuits that looked commercially made, and the dough was so much easier to work with. I use a melon baller for a uniform size. This is a great recipe. Break the hardened toffee into shards. Transfer to a food processor or plastic bag and crush into pea-size bits. Marketer, The Conscious (31 December 2020). "Harlesden: The last of the inner-city London suburbs". Medium . Retrieved 12 August 2021. The name Hobnob comes from the verb 'to hobnob', which means to spend time being friendly with someone who is important or famous. [7] Channel 4's Secret World of Biscuits programme claims that the name comes from the two words " hob" (suggesting home-cooked on a stove) and "knobbly" referencing the texture. [8] Manufacture [ edit ] Plain Hobnobs are made at the Tollcross factory in Glasgow. The chocolate variety is made at the Harlesden factory in north-west London. [9] The basic ingredients for Hobnobs are oats.

In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar and salt, and whisk to combine. 3.
