I am up to the 'G's in the biscuit section of the Edmonds Classics Cookery Book. Gingernuts! The recipe says it makes 25. I made 14. Maybe if I made them more flat they would have been closer to the recipe count.
When making the batter, I thought the biscuit would be quite crumbly, but they were quite nice and buttery. I liked them. They were a good dunking cookie. The lads don't really like ginger, so I had to consume most of them.

Up to the D's in the biscuit section of the Edmonds Classics Cookbook: Date Surprises
What was surprising about these, was that I thought I would be the only one to like these. They are dates, stuffed with walnuts and surrounded by a gingery dough. They ended up being quite a hit! These are really yummy, almost reminescent of a pudding. The next recipe in the Edmonds Classics cookbook is Coconut Crispettes. Made the recipe just as it said, and they were quite nice. Nice and coconutty with a bit of cocoa flavour. I liked dunking them in my tea.
The books says it makes 32, I made 18 out of the ingredients. Still on Biscuits category with the Edmonds Classics Cookbook.
The next recipe is Chocolate Cream Biscuits. There is no Edmonds online recipe for these. They are a chocolate cookie, that is rolled and cut into rounds with a cookie cutter. Then you make a chocolate icing and sandwich two together with the icing in the middle. The biscuits ended up being quite crunchy hard. They were great for dunking though, and they were soon gone. The next recipe in the Edmonds Classics Cookery Book: Chocolate Chip Biscuits also known as Sante Biscuits.
Here is the link to the online recipe: EDMONDS CHOCOLATE CHIP BISCUITS I did used 2 C of flour instead of the recipe's amount. I think they would have gone all spread out again if I had done the recipe amount. These were yum, and I would make them again. The next recipe in the Edmonds Classics Cookery Book is: Chinese Chews
This has rolled oats, chopped dates, walnuts and crystallised ginger. I was expecting some chewy toffee like thing, going by the name, but they were these nice cakey bars. You have to like ginger to like these, which I do. The flavour combo of the spicy ginger, sweet dates and walnuts is really nice. Bruce really liked them as well. This was my first ever baking recipe I did as a kid. As an adult I had forgotten all about them until I saw this recipe.
They are pretty much foolproof and you get a lot for a little amount of ingredients. I used a triangle cookie cutter so they looked like Arnotts Shapes. The family LOVED them. I will never forget them again. This is another Top 20 Edmonds recipe. I sometimes buy Belgium biscuits as I like the cookie and spice mix.
I went a little overboard in the red icing on mine. I also thought they were a little dry with just jam in between the cookie sandwich. I ended up putting white icing in the middle as well as the jam. Bruce liked them the most and wants me to make them again. Baking through the Edmonds Classics Cookery book: The next recipe is Bran Biscuits.
The recipe says to use a cup of Flemings Bran Flakes, which don't exist anymore. I wasn't sure if it mean bran or flakes like cornflakes. I ended up chosing oat bran. I don't know if this was correct. The biscuits tasted very healthy and bland. It says you can have them with butter, which made them a bit better.... but no, I don't like bran biscuits.... with the oat bran anyways. Next in the Edmonds Classics Cookery book is Bournvita Biscuits.
Bournvita is a hot chocolate drink like Milo. I only had Milo, so I used theat. Stuck to the recipe, no adjustments and they came out fine. We thought they were a little bit boring by themselves, so I ended up icing them and they were better. |
