yumm!

I made these tonight http://smittenkitchen.com/2009/02/thick-chewy-oatmeal-raisin-cookies/

Will update later with exact recipe and hopefully some pics! :)

Better get back to the baking. YUM!

Easy peasy biscuits!

SERVES 10 , 60 cookies

• 250 g butter
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 pinch salt
• 3 cups plain flour
• 1 (400gram) can sweetened condensed milk
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence

1. Beat the butter and sugar until creamy.
2. Add vanilla essence - beat for another couple seconds.
3. Add the tin of sweetened condensed milk to the "cream" mixture.
4. Add salt then flour - cut into the mixture whilst mixing with a round edged knife.
5. Once mixture has the consistency of workable dough (more flour may be needed to get right consistency) roll out dough into 6 inch "sausages" - wrap "sausage dough" in parchment paper (wax paper) and place in fridge for half an hour before cutting the sausages into slices. Flatten biscuits lightly before baking in a preheated oven @ 180degrees until biscuits are a fine golden colour.
6. This recipe makes approximately 60+ biscuits.

This recipe is VERY easy to make changes to. Add a few spoonfuls of cocoa for choc bikkies. A packet of chocolate chips, or some peanuts or dried fruit or whatever you like!
Today, I made double choc chip. A few spoonsful of cocoa (and slightly less flour) and a 250g pack of white and of milk choc pieces. DELISH!

Also if you have a mix master this is very easy to make. Use the beaters for the butter/sugar/milk mix then swap to the dough hooks when you add the flour.

Pics hopefully to come.
Also I found that when adding all the cocoa and choc chips, the mix is VERY stiff so I added a tiny bit of milk to help it mix easier.

We made these biscuits for my wedding afternoon tea. :)
