Dear All,

Happy New Year! My sincere apologies, have been offline since before Christmas, which has been quite therapeutic but I reneged on my promise of the recipe! Here it is:

Sesame biscuits

Ingredients
50g (20z) unsalted butter
100g (3 1/2 oz) whoemlemeal flour
25g (1oz) fine oatmeal
25g 1oz) sesame seeds
25g 1oz) sunflower seeds
2-3 tablespoons soya or rice milk (I've used skimmed and semi-skimmed milk and they turned out ok)

Method
1. Set the oven to 190C/375F/Gas 5 and line a baking tray with baking parchment.

2. Rub the butter into the flour and oatmeal and stir in the seeds. Then use the milk to bind the mixture. Use 2 tablespoons to start with, adding more milk as necessary until the mixture forms a moist ball.

3. Place on a floured board and roll out to about 0.3cm (1/8 in) thick. (if you roll the mixture out too thinly it will be impossible to cut into shapes).

4. Use a fluted cutter to make 5-6cm (2-2 1/4 in) rounds and place on the prepared tray. Place in the oven and bake for 15 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.

Enjoy on their own, with goat cheese or a nice Jarlsberg or cheddar!

I have a few more but before I type them up it would be good to know whether anyone is still checking this thread! Will post this somewhere else as well. :-)

Hope the year goes on peacefully for all of us.

God bless.
