    just made some, but didn't realise i hadn't used sr flour until it was to late. I also added some vanilla essense they taste nice but a bit sweet

    First thing i've baked since i got kicked out of home economic about 17yrs ago hehe so quite pleased with the results

    thats great and they will taste even better with the right flour ;) reduce the sugar a little if the biscuits are too sweet and well done on your success, my dd made some for comic relief at the boys school, she made them bigger and put a cherry on top before baking, about 18 from a batch and they sold out think she made a few batches

    Got my first batch in and they look good! Just read the bit about them spreading and I haven't left much room, oh well, only had 2 small trays and filled them up a bit! Will let you know how they turn out. Thanks for the recipe Twink :)

    Hello Twink,
    Instead of using Bicarb I used baking powder by mistake. They tasted great.
    Now I don't know whether to use it again or use the proper recipe.
    What do you think the difference will be?

    Hi again

    I also used baking powder as no bicarb. Does anyone know what the difference is? Was going to post a separate thread but will see if anyone knows here.

    Hobnobs merged into each other and filled the trays lol but who cares if they are a funny shape they taste great! Need some bigger baking trays really. I have a lovely box full but they keep calling to me.... and I am trying to leave them alone for tonight now :)
