Method

Preheat oven to 170ºC (150ºC fan) mark 3. Line three baking sheets with parchment. Put flour, oatmeal, baking powder and sugar in a bowl, then rub in the butter until the mixture looks like breadcrumbs.

Mix in honey and enough milk to form a stiff dough. If sticky, add more flour; if too dry, add a drop of milk. Wrap in clingfilm and chill for 15min.

Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to a 5mm (1⁄4in) thickness. Cut out circles with a 6.5cm (21⁄2in) cutter, then prick each with a fork three times. Bake for 15-18min until golden. Cool on a wire rack.

Will keep for five days.
