Easy Biscuits
- 1 packet of butter 500g
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk 400g
- 1/2 cup sugar
Cream all together and add.
- 5 cups self raising flour
Divide into 2 or 3 batches and add to each batch 1 cup of flavourings:
- Chocolate chips
- Chopped peanuts toasted or half baked beforehand
- Coconut
- Chopped cherries or sultanas, or 2 tsp ground ginger or cinnamon mixed with 1/2 cup sugar crystals.
Roll each batch into a log shape, wrap in plastic film and store in fridge. When you wish to bake cut in 1cm slices, place on greased tray and bake at 180C for about 7 minutes until golden.
Or you can slice the plain mixture and top with 2 or 3 chocolate bits or glace cherry. Children like to help with this. Or you could bake them plain and ice and decorate when cold.
