A Biscuit for all seasons (well the colder ones mainly)

Oaty fruity cinnamony honeyed biscuits
Makes about 15 biscuits
Preparation time: about 35 mins (excluding the washing up!)

I was sorting out some stuff while watching a "Man for all Seasons" and was inspired to bake something to go with some tea and also to spice up the lunch box this week.
These ingredients were sort of what I had left after making Christmas cakes. I added the honey as my supply of sugar was low and well it tastes nice. The oats, honey and spice add a medieval touch something that might have cheered Thomas Moore as he rotted in the tower. In fact the biscuits are so good they could have Sir Thomas recant his conscience!

Pre-heat your oven to 180°C
What you'll need:
50g butter
100g caster sugar
2 tablespoons of runny honey
1 egg, beaten
50g plain flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp cinnamon
175g porridge oats
125g mixed dried fruit

What to do:
1. Cream the butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy. (You could use a mixer but is it worth the faff for a few biscuits?)
2. Add the beaten egg and mix until combined.
3. Add the flour, salt and baking powder into the batter and stir to mix it in.
4. Add all the remaining ingredients and mix to combine thoroughly (the mixture will be thick).
5. Grease two baking trays and place large tablespoons of the mixture some 2 inches apart on them.
6. Place the trays in the pre-heated oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until nicely browned all over.
7. Remove from the oven and allow cooling slightly on the baking trays before putting them on a cooling rack..

To serve: some proper tea and a Oscar winning period piece concerning the balance between our moral duties to a higher being and our allegiance to the state in the form of the monarch that or you could watch a western.
