Made first batch yesterday with half measures as there are just the 2 of us. The mixture was quite solid so added a small bit of milk.
How runny or not should the mixture be?
Also how do you get a nice round biscuit, or don´t you, mine were very irregular
How thick should they be, when you flatten the balls out
Thanx

chameleon, not sure about substituting sugar but dgs1, 9yo is diabetic, takes them as a snack and for his school trip dd made them with cinnamon as that is supposed to be good for keeping blood sugar down, think its the first long trip he has had with no probs, think the oats in the biscuits, keep your blood sugar more even than with eating just sugar and swinging too high then low but dd will keep me right
borderlakland, the biscuits will go soft after a week or so but they are easy to freeze and just take one out when you need to, they dont all stick together
sandy, i make mine walnut size and press down just to slightly flatten them, they do look homemade, thriftladys look good as she rolled the mix and stamped them out
as for the mix it is quite stiff but you need to only just melt the marg or butter, it doesnt want to get too hot

Just one thing, as a newly diagnosed Diabetic, I understand oats are good for slow-release carbs, but is there some way I can reduce/replace some of the sugar content in this recipe as my blood glucose tends to be rather high at the moment

Dd (age 5 dx 2.5 yrs) is diabetic too....

If you get 30 biscuits from the recipe, I calculated them as 15g carb per bicci. Replacing half the sugar with sweetner only reduces it to 12g carb per bicci.

IMO, the reduction in carb is barely worth the subsitution - why not instead change the size of the biscuit:

original recipe, 30 bics = 15g each, 36 bics = 12.5g each, 45 bics = 10g carb each

if you make the biscuits the size of a walnut shell before pressing with a fork you should get about 46 biscuits from the mix

Thanks, I did get 40 out of them last time so will aim to make them slightly smaller this time or will that mean I'll just end up eating more of them :think: :rotfl:
