| 703623 | 2008-09-10 02:12:00 | That sounds like the recipe - but if not, you could post on the TradeMe recipes thread, where there are several gun older cooks of the bikkies-and-baking sort. I also find that the old Edmonds recipes are much better if you use the original Imperial measures, as Beetle has given, rather than grams, the proportions of ingredients tend to work better. good |

| 703624 | 2008-09-10 02:51:00 | Vanilla Sultana Biscuits. 8oz butter 8oz sugar 2 tbsp milk 2 dssp golden syrup 1 tea spoon baking soda Melt together and cool a bit. Add 1 cup sultanas, 3 teaspoons vanilla, 1lb flour. Mix all in saucepan. Flour tray. Roll a tablespoon full (more for a bigger biscuit) into a ball & place on tray. Flatten out a bit. Can use a fork to flatten to give a grooved top. |

| 703627 | 2008-09-10 05:36:00 | beetle - off topic I know, but does your Mum drop her sponges on the floor (in the tin of course!) as she takes them out of the oven? Deliberately I mean :) If she does, does she know why that is done? All my aunties and cousins do this, but I don't know how wide spread the practice is, and why it works - it defies reason. |
