  • My wife has a family 'chocolate' biscuit recipe that is only memorable in ounces:

    8oz plain flour
    8oz butter (plus half a tsp of salt if unsalted)
    4oz granulated sugar
    2oz cocoa powder.

    I still manage to cock it up often - most recently by only putting in 4oz of butter, which made them really dense and crumbly.

    They work great with some orange zest in as well, and would presumably be improved with some actual chocolate.

  • Flapjacks is another family one we have, which I remember as 2,4,6 (total fat),8

    2 tbsp golden syrup
    4oz light brown sugar
    3oz trex
    3oz margerine
    8oz porridge oats
    scrumpled handful of cornflakes
