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.

703625 2008-09-10 03:10:00 Virtually the same as Beetle's Mum, so two Mums can't be wrong! ! BobM (1138)
703626 2008-09-10 04:14:00 LOL

well my mum is in her late 70's so i guess she would be of the gun cooks idea yes?:waughh:
she said she been cooking them for more years than ive been a live...... lol and my aunt cooks them too. and she is a weeny bit younger than mum.
and my grandma used to as well,

My mum was the sort of lady who cooked wedding cakes to order, and made sponge's at the drop of the hat, she makes 3 batches of fudge a week, and they lucky to last 2 days in our family tribe..... she is also well known for her sponge drops........... :clap


good luck

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.
