    My first thought was shortbread too! You could do scones, they aren't as rich and don't need as much fat in them. You can put some butter on them though!

  • do you have any yeast or baking powder as you could make flatbreads.
    have you anything else at all in the cupboards?

    Just had another quick rummage

    We also have rice
    some cream cheese
    half a bottle of bbq sauce
    a tiny bit of sweet chilli sauce
    spaghetti

    More than I thought we had but still not sure what to make.
  • cream cheese could make a nice buttery sauce for the spaghetti with some herbs or black pepper?
