Mincemeat Oat Slices
As it was raining today, I thought some hearty baking was in order! I had small amount of mincemeat left in the ‘fridge and thought it was time I used it up. I used an easy recipe I found on Pinterest at www.yummly.co.uk ( https://pin.it/5DOOubX ). Mix the dry ingredients together: 1.5 cups plain flour 1.75 cups of porridge oats 2 teaspoons of baking powder 1/4 teaspoon of salt In a separate bowl, mix 1/2 cup (110g) of butter with 1 cup of brown sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence, Then combine both mixes together. Spoon half the mixture into a greased 13”x9” tin and press down firmly (I use a potato masher). Spread one cup of mincemeat over the top and cover with the rest of the mixture, firming down again. Bake at 170°C for about 20-25 minutes until lightly browned. Leave to cool slightly before cutting. Delicious!
