Girl on the River bite-sized - The Great British Biscuit Eight

Girl on the River

If you had to select an 8+ out of biscuits, what would they be and in what order?
This was the fiendishly difficult question put to Girl on the River when she invited questions for her Ask Me Anything episode. So huge was the topic, she decided it merited an episode all of its own.
After extensive testing, seat racing and public consultation, as well as a few, shock, last-minute substitutions she has come up with her final crew and reveals all in this very special bite-sized edition.
For those of you who have asked for the flapjack recipe mentioned in this episode, here it is:
Girl on the River's Five Seat Flapjacks

• 300g butter
• 150g sugar (brown if you like it darker, but caster is fine)
• 40g treacle
• 110g golden syrup
• 450g porridge oats

1. Melt the butter, sugar, golden syrup and treacle in a pan. Do not let it boil.
2. Mix in the oats and stir thoroughly.
3. Press into a tin (I use an IKEA roasting tin c33-23cm and I usually line the bottom with greaseproof paper)
4. Bake in the oven at 170C fan / 190C non-fan until set and golden brown around the edges.
5. Mark into portions while still warm, then leave to cool on a wire tray.
6. Store in an airtight tin or gobble the lot in one sitting. They never last long in my house.
