Method

• Put the butter, flour and baking powder into a large bowl and rub the butter into the flour until it resembles breadcrumbs.
• Stir in the cranberries, porridge oats, sugar, spice and pecans until well combined.
• Make a well in the centre and add the beaten egg and bring together using a round bladed butter knife to make a firm dough.
• Roll the dough into 24 even sized balls and place well apart on lined baking trays.
• Place in a preheated oven at 180ºC and bake for 15 minutes until golden brown.
• If you don't want to cook all of them at once, roll the remaining mixture into a log, wrap it in clingfilm and freeze until you want to bake them. When you go to bake them, let the mixture defrost and then roll into balls.
