Just made my first batch. I don't have marge so used homemade unsalted butter. Made 34 huuuge biscuits.

Oh, I only had Oatmeal of Altford, which is very small oats, so the bisuits weren't overly oaty. I really liked them. I might get some medium oats and try that...although I really liked them as they were.

I'm telling people that they are called "Twinks".

Twink, sorry just got back to this thread.

I used Asda soft spread which is a big tub of vegetable oil based stuff. I use it for all my baking and everything else turns out OK.

twink

thanks Pollybear, i will look out for the spread next time i am in asda

Yum! These twinks are lovely!:D

Just thought I'd pop on and say how much we enjoyed them.
I had to tweak slightly as I have a fan oven.

Hi Twink

I know Ive just thanked you on the daily, but want to add my opinion to this thread! I have just made my first lot this evening, and just made a second batch.

I made them to the size of cookie's. And got 40 out of each batch.
They are going down a treat!

My DD has now crowned me the best Baker in the world.
