Simply,,a little deliciousness,,,,

I got this recipe from my Mum, who got it I think from the BeRo cookbook, which is why the measurements are imperial.

3 oz marg or butter
1 oz lard
4 oz sugar
1 beaten egg (I add a few drops of almond or vanilla essence)
pinch salt
6 oz self raising flour
oats or coconut

Cream the fats and sugar, then with damp hands roll into balls and dip in the oats or coconut.  Bake at 180C for 10 - 15 minutes till golden brown.
Makes about 24

They do look nicer with cherries on top but I didn't have any left..
