    :eek: You didn't tell me they grow!

    It's like dumplings, all over again! :rotfl:
    If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.

    Fab for a first attempt Mrbadexample, you just put too much mix for each biscuit. I use a tablespoon of mix for each one then flatten it down a touch, and when the spread a bit in the oven they are a fab size. My OH has to snap them in half to dunk in his coffee. I tend to get about 35 biccies from a batch. Don't give up, coz once you've tried them you can't stop making them :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I got 8 from half a batch. Which means they should be half the size. :o I have to say, they're lovely - still a bit chewy in the middle. I will be making these again! :D

    :T Thank you so much Twink! I made these yesterday, and used what I had in the house i.e. butter, soft brown sugar and maple flavoured golden syrup,and threw in some currants too. They are lush and chewy, 10 times better than any thing you'd buy at the shops.

    :T :T well done for your first attempt the biscuits look great, i get about 50 from my mix, they have been done as a traybake too with nuts and seeds i think, 170o for 20 mins if i remember right

    they look the right colour too though i like mine really crisp and leave in a wee bit longer, dont blame me if you put on weight eating them all :D never noticed you only got eight MrB they must be huge lol

    redhotmamma havent tried maple flavoured syrup yet but runny honey is nice too, glad you enjoyed them
