Home made biscuits

I love Mapp and Lucia. I just finished a book by EF Benson about the goings-on in a genteel boarding house, most enlightening.

Also love flapjacks as I have managed to convince myself that they are healthy because they contain oats, which are rumoured to carry away fat. They haven't yet succeeded in carrying away any of mine, so think I may have to increase flapjack intake.

Bye .Off to make sticky flapjack. Absolutely no will power whatsoever and in desperate need of comfort food .

And they didn't collapse (that says how hard they were). Perhaps I'm on to something - Biscottijacks - like it!

Sort of biscottijacks Nfk?

Oh, Absent I'll remember your idea for next time if not before. My rock hard flapjacks just got dunked in coffee and all got eaten anyway!

DEE , you have also read E.F.Benson !

Scriggling was a favourite word of Miss Mapp in the Mapp and Lucia books by E.F.Benson.

ps for your failed biscuits, crumble them up and use as a topping over fruit for a pudding.
Return to a hot oven for 15 mins or so.

I made some like that yesterday, and they came out good, but some burnt on the bottom.(I've got a funny french gas oven.)
Try this recipe:
180ml oil mixed with 2 eggs, vanilla
Mix 200g w and b sugar, 300g mixed flours plus 50g extra grains (eg muesli)
Combine.
Medium oven, 20 to 30 mins, but watch in case they burn.
Avoid raisins.

Chop/break them up or pull them apart and mix with vanilla (or other) ice cream.

No, I've honestly never come across that word before!

ANA, Ana ,scriggling --- writhe or twist about , but you knew that !!

Laugh !

'Scriggling'! Never heard it called that before, Nonu!

Jane , as the actress said to the bishop !!
When he was scriggling !

Push it back in very firmly.

You can try, but it depends how much they had been removed. I gave my bedt friend very specific instructions not to remove hers - but she couldn't wait and they fell to bits. Try it and see.

At least if they're sticky you can still eat them. I made some flapjacks for the family coming last weekend and I think I left them in a touch too long. Not burnt but they needed a hammer, chisel and good teeth!

Too true, alas!

Little pickers wear bigger knickers! I love that.

Yes, I used butter, oats, flour, some sugar, spoon of honey. Put them on a baking tray & they spread out as they do, ended up touching each other. Should I have left them in tin to cool? Thought they'd have stuck to tin if I did that. They just need to crisp up a bit. Back in the oven, would that work?

Soft and sticky would n't bother me! Sigh!!!

Steady on Soutra .
Remember "Little pickers wear bigger knickers "
Do not come moaning to me a later in the year , Me , I am being a good girl .

HOWDY de DOODY , Paige , nice to see you , hope life is treating you well.

Oh poor you! You could send them to me and I'd take them off your hands or, I imagine, GNHQ could force themselves to help out?

A little sugar,cinnamon,fruit and butter even better brown sugar and pop in the oven a while..a pudding! BTW this is Envious I've changed my name.Every time I saw the word in a posting I'd have to look twice!
