Easy Homemade Biscuits

Owl

ooooo

I know it's not biscuits,but have you done "cake in a cup" - I did it several years in a row with mine!! 1 tbsp each of SR flour, butter, caster sugar and 'egg and milk beaten together' - stir in cup like mad, put name on bottom of cake case, put in tin, put in mixture, and cook like fairy cakes. Done.

cos they are all doing their own they can lick the spoon, stick their fingers in etc and no-one is bothered!!!! In fact, when I did this with a group of boys they licked the spoon that much their cakes turned into a biscuit cos they had eaten soooooo much mixture!!!!

The answer to all of your biscuit questions is "Twink's HobNobs"

No skill required. A small child could make them blindfolded and they'd still turn out totally scrumptious.

Oat dreams.

I have no idea where this recipe came from I'm afraid, so can't give credit to anyone other than my Mum, whose book I copied it out of.

4oz Marg.
4oz Self Raising Flour.
2oz Caster Sugar.
2oz Oats.

Two different methods:
1) chuck it all in a bowl and mix it up.
2) cream the marg and sugar, sieve in the flour, and stir in the oats.

Make it into small balls (walnut sized) and put on baking trays. Flatten them slightly.
Bake at 180 degrees C for fifteen minutes or until golden.

ok if they are making 5 different bisuits then perhaps look at 5 different methods - a rubbed in one, a creamed one, one made with melted butter (Twinks), rolled and cut out, log biscuits, etc then they learned range of techniques and how using the same ingredients in different proportions and different ways can have different results, rather than just making 5 random biscuits.

Are you a food tech teacher?

ha ha - this made me laugh! No I'm not food tech teacher but I do teach primary DT which is what this falls into. I'm about as good at teaching food tech as rugby - and trust me this is not well!

I like the idea of different methods though although I may stick to 2/3 techniques and then by the end of the week they should be good at them.

I know one thing though - we are going to have a great time testing our biscuits! :j
