Oh well never mind. I'm sure Twink's feelings won't be hurt. Maybe you could try a batch of Anzacs instead. :whistle:

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm............ made my first batch last night and have taken (some) in to work today and they have been hoovered. I think I may have made them slightly large as I only got 26 from the batch!!! and the mix was a bit dollopy (runny) but still very edible. I will try some with sultanas next and some with coconut ......

scottish lassie at only 26 they must have been big, mix shouldnt be sloppy as i said before watch that you measure the butter as the packs are a bit more than 8ozs nowadays

oh shame, third time lucky then but as i said the hobnobs are nice crumbled on top of stewed fruit,into yoghurt and onto icecream if they dont turn out quite right

I made these on Friday and I made them too big! They tasted lovely but more cake like than biscuit like, which I think is down to the size. They spread so much they joined into each other and ended up more like hexagons.

How big does everyone make the balls? Someone mentioned using a melon baller but I don't have or need one of them. Would a teaspoon or tablespoon sized ball be ok?

probably about the size of a walnut and press with a fork, if i am feeling mean i get about 55, about 40ish is a better size
