Hi big momma,

Found this in the Metro earlier this week and kept it, haven't had chance to make them myself yet...

Italian biscuits:

300g icing sugar
300g ground almonds
2tsp honey
3 egg whites
butter or oil, for greasing the baking trays
apricot jam, creme patissiere or flaked almonds to finish

• mix icing sugar and almonds.
• add honey and egg whites until you have a firm, smooth dough
• stick in fridge for 30 mins
• preheat oven to 150C/gas mark 2
• lightly grease two baking trays
• after 30 mins, divide dough into 4 equal pieces and roll each piece into a sausage shape
• slice each sausage into 8-10 pieces
• pop onto baking trays the gently press your thumb into the centre of each biscuit to leave an indent
• fill indents with whichever filling you picked
• bake for 15 mins

Hope that helps! Let me know how you get on

do you have oats or weetabix or musli?

if you have you can make a fruit cake.

1 cup oats or musli or weetabix
1 cup sugar (i use half a cup and half a cup of mashed banana)
1 cup sultanas or any dried fruit or choccy chips
1 cup milk

mix together and leave for an hour. i also put cinnamon in mine.

add 1 cup sr flour

bake on 180 for around an hour. my kids love this. and it is really nice warm out the oven with a little bit of butter/jam on.

You can use oil as a substitute if you have any

Muffins can be good baked with veg oil. I would dare attempt any bikkies with it, though.

Thanks so much for this - just made one with muesli and cinnamon and can't wait for it to cool a bit so I can try it - looks and smells delicious :T
