Mum coming for tea today - Twink's hobnobs go to greatest test of all with a very fussy vegan. (Used vegan marg). Twink, if you pass, I'll send you a medal.

Ooh would be very interested to know how they work out with vegan marg as I am cooking for 2 vegans over easter and was thinking about doing Twinks hobnobs :T

Perfect - used that Pure - no difference whatsoever.

Also made apple pie, mince pies (v. mincement) and apple and mincemeat pie (well, can't waste leftovers can we).

dont make it too big then jamanda but big enough for Aussie to see glad the hobnobs turned out fine with the Pure

jamanda

If you pass this one, you will be on line for sainthood never mind a medal. Will report back.

Just saw that 'Aussie' reference twink - so straight for my good old NEW ZEALAND Edmonds Book go I, and the famous ANZACS Recipe:
125gms flour
150gms sugar
125gms coconut
125-150gms rolled oats/porridge oats
50gms butter
1tbsp golden syrup
1/2 tsp Bicarb.
2 tbsps boiling water
Mix together flour, sugar, coconut, oats. Melt butter and golden syrup. Dissolve Bicarb. in boiling water, adding to melted butter and syrup mix.
Make a well in the flour, stir in the liquid. Place in spoonfuls on cold greased trays.
Bake 15-20 mins at 180C/350F/Gas 4.

Happy Mothers' Day to all and Bon Appetit.

MEDAL HINT for jamanda and twink:
Suspend a Hobnob or Anzac around neck for ease of reach.:D

jamanda

Will do Anzac another day when I have found the coconut. However, I have found some ground almonds which will be chucked in something soon.

Thinking - hobnobs + ground almonds with flaked almonds on top???

Edit: just realised the similarities in recipes. You'll just have to fight it out.

Another edit: am thinking about medal.
