So desperate was I for a biscuit with my cup of tea, I tried one of my daughter’s baby biscuits. Not going to do that again in a hurry. So I thought, sod it, I’ll make some. Where better to turn for baking than the Great British Bake Off cook book. I actually had all the ingredients and got to work. Then something happened that was definitely not in the recipe.
With Kitchenaid in full swing, I dropped the entire egg into the mix. There were two obvious options. (1) Swear loudly, bin in the lot, forget about biscuits and sulk. (2) Swear loudly, pick out the eggshell and carry on regardless. I went for option two and biscuits were made.
Alas, they weren’t terribly nice. Nice enough for me to have two before they’d cooled, but not great. The only think I changed was dark muscovado sugar not light and I can’t believe that makes a huge difference. They were quite cakey and actually not very sweet. Baked well, easy recipe (apart from the egg debacle) but not one I’d make again. Any recipes for choc chip cookies welcome as I have been looking for a really good recipe for ages and every one I try just doesn’t quite match up to Millie’s Cookies……
For my choc cookies I always use a kids recipe in my son's Annabel Karmel book. It uses white choc buttons but have used milk choc and it works just fine too. I would have written the recipe down however I am unsure where the book is!
Any recipes gratefully received! Today, it is mission:birthday cake…
I like the choc chip cookies in Nigella kitchen, best eaten warm!
Ooh – I have tried those ones. Maybe should make again….
