Homemade hobnobs?

twink

it will be interesting to see how they compare, chameleon, i have made a batch of hobnobs with dried cranberries , got 55 biscuits this time, better for my figure to have them smaller

You do realise twink that those hobnobs u just put over are sat here staring at me:D ok i admit it i had one:rotfl: these are going to do wonders for my diet! good thing they are smaller!

kids can finish them off when they are back:D

Ok, here they are



Very similar to twink's hobnobs - a little darker maybe due to the brown sugar - and very, very delicious!!! :drool:

Thanks to both of you for turning me into a Domestic Goddess :T :rotfl:

You cooked a great batch Chameleon. :T So big. They look :drool: better than what mine look like :rolleyes: and I've been cooking them for years.

Awaits Thriftlady's picture of Anzac perfection.

They're not actually as big as they look in that photo, they're sitting on a small tea plate, not a dinner plate

I got 40 biscuits from the mix, the same as I got from twink's hobnobs, so now trying to weigh up which ones are actually healthier

How much fat does coconut contain? Is it less than butter as the Anzacs only have half the butter content than the hobnobs lol

AussieLass

I'm sure coconut has less fat than butter. It's lighter anyway.

I thought it was a dinner plate. :rolleyes:

Well after hundreds of PM's begging me to post the recipe of Anzac's here it is.

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: Just went to copy this recipe down for future use, and noticed this technical term! I love it, my mum used to measure things in *dollops*!!! Happy days:D

Edited to say I'm getting about 55 biscuits out of the mix. Just slightly smaller (doesn't really notice) and it adds up to a few more. So if I eat by number, rather than weight, I'll be getting fewer calories! Of course I'm referring to twinks recipe, not this one as i haven't made these yet!

I tried Twinks Hob Nobs earlier and I don't know if it's a bloke thing :rolleyes: but I had run out of Golden Syrup so I used Maple Syrup instead (Two tablespoons) and no water - Absolutely delicious!

I have made Twink's Hobnobs and they are delicious, however, mine are not crisp, but slightly soft. They are cooked though.

How can I crisp them up?
