Another plaque a recipe & a snow pic

I made another little plaque for Charlie,
will update it every year with his age and
things he likes.I made it an A4 size,  then
printed various words in different fonts &
got a cheap frame and then painted it silver.
Also some yummy oat biscuits I can't stop
making now too. They are really nice &
chewy, although they seem to turn out
differently every time I make them now lol.
Still thought I would share the recipe as
they ARE scrummy !
Here is a pic of the snow we got the other
day, taken in our local churchyard , we got
about 4".Hope you like :O)

Plaque

                                                              
                                                           Oat biscuits

    ( Makes 24)

150 g Porridge oats
150 g SR Flour
150 g Caster sugar
150 g Butter
2 tbsp Golden syrup
2 tbs milk

Heat butter, syrup & milk in a saucepan until melted.
Pour into bowl containing the oats etc. & mix. Roll
heaped tsp into balls onto a tray lined with baking
paper. Space well apart. Bake at 180 C or 160 C for
fan ovens for 10- 12 mins. They should look just golden
brown so keep checking them. Leave on tray to cool for
5 mins.,( that hardens them up a bit) then transfer to rack.
Enjoy!
ps. Just to add these should be flat, biscuity and and
chewy , if they turn out too 'cake' like use more syrup,
that's the key I have found now . Just made more today
and they are so yummy hard to stop myself eating them
as soon as they come out of the oven lol.

Name plaque

I made a little name plaque for my new
grandson Charlie so thought I would
share a photo of it. I saw the idea on
Pinterest ( sorry didn't save who it was
 now but thankyou!). I got my talented
OH to make the wooden plaque and
the little frames, having given him sizes
I needed etc.Then I painted them and
used  crackle glaze to give them an
aged look. I printed the letters from
a handy link (again found on Pinterest).
Didn't save it either as I have changed
computers back and forth lately,as my
son  kept having to wipe my hard drive
so annoying !!!!!!!I saved most stuff but
some dissappeared of course :O(
Sorry back to the plaque.....I printed
the letters choosing grungy type fonts.
That bit took ages to get sizing right too!
I didn't have any glass to fit the frames
so just cut some acetate to fit over the
letters. Hope that keeps them clean, I
made it a tight fit too so no need to glue
etc.All this took ages as you can imagine,
but he is worth it of course. Now I have
to make another for my next grandson,
when he decides to arrive ! Glad I saved
the letters I will need...... and he has a
longer name too ( if they decide to go
with that one)......oh my !!! Anyway
hope you like it .
