Homemade Hobnobs (oat and golden syrup biscuits)

Whisk the soft butter, dark brown sugar and golden syrup in a big bowl until creamed and smooth.

In a separate bowl mix the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet and combine with a spatula; chill if the dough is soft, or keep a few days in the fridge.

Scoop level tablespoons, roll each in the palm, and space them on baking sheets to allow for spread.

Bake fan-assisted at 325F / 165C for roughly 10 to 12 minutes until evenly golden brown; without fan, bake one tray at a time and rotate.

Spread semi-sweet chocolate on the flat underside and let it set, in the fridge if wanted.
