    • Gorgeous biscuits!! Dead easy to make but had a small problem cooking as there was no oven temp in the recipe! I cooked them on 180 and they took a lot longer to cook, however they are well worth the wait the only trouble is they will not make it to the biscuit tin!!! Thankyou!!

    This is a really easy one to bake with the children - and you don't have to use all at once. You can keep producing fresh biscuits all week.

     

    My sons Danny and Joe made a video for Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity 'Bake It Better' campaign whilst making this recipe. And they sold them afterwards to the neighbours for 5 pounds - minus the ones they handled and ate! Read More
