Jumbos
« on: August 24, 2012, 10:15:26 am »
These have been a lunchbox favourite of ours for many, many years. I like this recipe because it is so quick and easy. Makes 8 jumbo biscuits (larger than the palm of your hand). Don’t know how long the biscuits last because they are always gone within 48 hours.
It is an old handwritten recipe, so I have no idea where the recipe came from. If you know, please let me know and I’ll include the details.
 
Ingredients
1 C dark choc bits
1 C Corn Flakes
1 C rolled oats
1 C SR flour
1 C brown sugar (I use rapadura)
1 C sultanas
½ C dessicated coconut
125 g butter, melted
1 egg, beaten

Method
1. Preheat oven to 180° C.
2. Line a large baking tray with baking paper (I use a 40 x 37cm non-stick tray)
3. Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
4. Add butter & egg & mix until the mixture comes together.
5. Divide into 8 pieces. Shape into balls, place on tray and flatten with the palm of your hand.
6. Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
7. Leave to cool on tray for 5 minutes, then cool completely on a wire rack. (Biscuits crisp as they cool.) Store in an airtight container.

Yes they look a great little biscuit djinni, a bit like those you see for sale in coffee shops.

They look yummy CC. Hope you enjoyed them.

I tried these with cranberries and white chocolate instead of sultanas and dark chocolate in the luchboxes this week (just for a change). Ok but not as good as the original version.

I forgot to mention that I made these last weekend, the kids loved them. I didn't make them Jumbo, so mine were mini jumbos :D

These are lovely. I like how you can say "I only had one biscuit with my coffee".
