That is interesting. I wonder if it was my mum or my grandma who decided to use oats instead of coconut to roll the dough in. I'm quite surprised, as they both regularly used coconut in other recipes.
You don't see many recipes now that use lard, do you - I usually use all margarine in my melting moments nowadays, but to me they really do taste better on the odd occasion that I still use lard. ☺
