A huge thankyou to ElisabethD of Cornish Cream who posted a really easy recipe last week. Do click on the link to find out more. I made some on Saturday evening…but was short of sultanas. Instead I chopped some dried apricots into small pieces and swapped the vanilla essence for almond.
I got about three dozen biscuits from the quantities given, and they taste lovely. I have packed some away in airtight boxes in the freezer, but we did enjoy a few over the weekend with a cuppa.
Home made biscuits taste infinitely nicer than the dusty packet ones, and they work out cheaper. It took me around half an hour to make this batch [and next time I plan to make double quantities]
The only downside is the calories in them…
I'm so glad you tried them out! I have just made another big batch for the workmen who are here this week....somehow the previous biscuits didnt last long!
ReplyDeleteBut calories aren't bad Angela - and there are no lurking artificial ingredients. I'm going to check this recipe out and may bake some to take to Mags' Allergy NI fundraiser on the 27th.
ReplyDeleteI wish I'd not seen them. I bake them - I eat them!
ReplyDeleteDelicious looking cookies, I'm not so keen on sultanas in cookies but apricots YUM!! I could just eat a couple with my cuppa.

Those look like what my family call 'sultana blobs' - though entirely possible to make with any dried fruits. They keep very well and are yummy.
