Love the name of these biscuits CP, there are many others out there with similar names including salon biscuits    Love the look of them too and yes I agree, it's about time they replaced their magazines.  There are some gems in the old ones though, I have just posted one from a 2007 magazine.

I've made these, I saved the original recipe. They are really delicious. Thanks for the reminder as I will make them again.

Thanks CP's Mum.

Oopsie, I didn't check here before converting or posting so sorry if you've beaten me to it

No CP I am pretty sure I haven't put them on here.

I think my DH would love these to take to work.  I haven't made anything sweet since Christmas!

Hopefully making these will get you back into the swing of things Julie - what a surprise DH would get when he opened his snack  pack to find some home baking again.

Hi JulieO, lovely to see you.
I found where I had copied this recipe CP. it was pre thermomix as I remember having to use my almost dead food processor. This is a photo of how organised I sort of was then. I used to type my favourite recipes out and put into a file. Being retired you think I would have more time now. I just use snaprecipes. I'm in trouble if my iPad dies.


So e of the amounts seem slightly different.

[CreamPuff63]

I took a photo of the clipping and just used those amounts. Maybe you thought it needed a bit more butter? Oops just seen a mistake in the plain flour

It is so long ago that I made them I can't really remember. It was pre tmx. I hope to make them tomorrow and will follow your recipe.
