Ingredients

  • 125 g butter
  • ¾ cup caster sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup finely grated carrot
  • ¼ cup finely chopped pecans
  • ½ cup currants
  • 1 cup self-raising flour
  • ¼ cup plain flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ¾ cup quick cooking oats
  • ¼–½ cup buttermilk

Method

1. Preheat oven to 190°C and grease oven trays.

2. Cream butter, add sugar and egg and beat well. Stir in carrot, pecans, currants and three-quarters of sifted dry ingredients. Add oats, remaining sifted dry ingredients and sufficient buttermilk to make a firm dough.

3. Place slightly heaped teaspoonfuls of mixture at intervals on prepared trays, press down tops with a fork and bake 12–15 minutes or until golden brown.

4. Cool on trays 10 minutes before removing to a cake rack. Cool completely. These biscuits may be iced with a lemon glacé icing, if desired. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
