I made these using beef dripping instead of butter/marg and they worked perfectly!
It was an experiment but with beef dripping being 59p for 250g, it's my new find!

when I made my last lot of hobnobs at the weekend, I formed small balls of the mix in my hands then put them on the baking sheet and pressed them down. They ended up as nice neat round biscuits. Normally when I just use a tsp of mix and 'blob' down and press with fork, they come out a bit 'rustic' looking. Got 42 out of half the mix.
If we're going to start savoury ones with dripping etc, do you think, bacon fat and cheese would work (without the sugar and syrup in the mix)

blimey i have no idea sandy2 but what a thought, breakfast in a biscuit, oats, bacon and cheese lol

good idea to get neat biscuits though without the bother of rolling them out

The beef dripping didn't add a savoury taste at all

glad you like them and lots of variations to try out too, the recipe actually says the mix does 60 biscuits but they must be tiny

lol what do you call tiny though? recently I've been using a half tablespoon measure (from a plastic set of measuring spoons)for my twinks and I get 38-40 from a half batch mix. Out of curiosity I measured the diameter of one of them and it was 3 inches across

Made these again today with my boys.Snowing here so trying to keep them amused.
Had to laugh as they were standing round the oven watching them cook.
I have to hide them in the highest cupboard.:D
