Biscuits of any kind go down well in my house but everyone always freaks out for any soft centred variety – the type you get in supermarkets and Millie’s. The main way to achieve this is not over cooking. I am such a weirdo and I know this to be controversial but I don’t like packets of biscuits. They are either too sweet, the texture is wrong or they have a flavour of fakeness about them. I will make an exception and that is Jaffa cakes, I mean come on the faff of baking them makes the enjoyment even more amazing.
I find baking biscuits rather therapeutic- I mean you can’t easily go wrong and the results are usually pretty good. I need some new baking trays mine have gone a bit manky and on the subject of that my oven needs a good clean, the glass door is not looking too see through right now – any volunteers!!!
Don’t be scared of having a go at these, you need some scales, a bowl and if you are lucky enough a stand mixer!
