Looks like the mice got to this one before we could take a photo! ;-)
Here’s a simple, tasty recipe that Lou baked up this week. I can confirm that they are absolutely delicious and go very well with a cup of tea. I cannot however confirm who was responsible for the bite taken out of the biscuit in the picture above.
They’re by no means a health food but eaten sensibly we all know there’s always room for something tasty in a balanced diet. Happy baking!
