• Preheat your oven to 180°C/gas mark 4 and line your baking trays with baking paper.

• Place the pecans on a baking tray and bake for five minutes. Once cool, chop your pecans (not too small).

• Using an electric mixer or by hand, beat the butter, caster sugar and brown sugar together until light and fluffy.

• While mixing, add each egg one at a time followed by the vanilla.

• In to a mixing bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, nutmeg, cinnamon and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the butter and sugar mixture.

• Add the oats, pecans and raisins and mix until combined.

• Using a spoon, scoop 5cm heaps of dough on to the baking trays. Make sure you leave a good amount of space between each mound of biscuit dough.

• Flatten each mound slightly with a damp hand.
