Malt biscuits

[Thermomixer]

Yum.  Wish I had enough time to make even 10 % of the recipes I have cut from papers & pasted into folders 

I have a box full of recipes that I thought - gee that would be good to make ..... one day

[judydawn]

Nah Thermomixer, you are going to run out of time unfortunately 

[Thermomixer]

I know that you are right, but I can't help myself    Just cut something out of a mag that MrsT was throwing out - when will it end?

I just crushed a malt biscuit over my French Vanilla Sara Lee icecream...  then mixed it in. 

Oh.   Yummy.

Failsafe and delish!!

I can't buy malt extract in my stupidmarkets here any longer 

I wanted to make these on the weekend and tried to buy it today.

I'm the same Thermomixer. Sat in an ophthalmologist's waiting room for 1.5 hours this week and wrote out 11 recipes from 2 magazines. I am a recipe tragic too. I don't think my kids will be surprised when they clean out the house & find so many recipes.

The recipe for the Malt Biscuits came from one of those slips of paper,  Judy and Thermomixer.
faffa 70.  You could try Golden Syrup or Maple Syrup.  I friend has asked if I could turn them into a lemon biscuit.  Next project

I found malt extract in Coles (2 brands in different places) and ended up choosing Pure Harvest organic Rice Malt Syrup because it was a 500g sized jar and therefore much cheaper than the l kg tin of barley malt extract. This should last me a considerable amount of time.  I'm hoping it will do the job in the couple of recipes on here using malt syrup.

My local Coles has just been revamped and they have removed a lot of items from the shelves (not that they weren't before that!!) I had seen both of them there before (I think one was Saunders in a malty coloured tin) Might see if I can get some Rice Malt Syrup from the health shop 

Chookie the family want the MALT - they (were when I used to occasionally buy biscuits) a family favourite

Judy , I use the malt in some of the grain breads.

[judydawn]

Instead of anything Chookie or in addition to? How much would you use?

[achookwoman]

Judy,  usually about 1 Tablespoon to a loaf made with 500g of flour, ( or 500g combo of seeds and flour).

Kathryn I had the same problem as you. I went to 2 Coles shops and they didn't have any so then dried the local health food shop and they didn't either. I may end up trying treacle or something similar. I like the taste of malt though.

[achookwoman]

Cookie and Kathryn,  maybe a beer supplies shop may have some.   The last lot I bought was a 'Simply No Knead" product.  I bought it from a Gourmet food shop.   It is cheaper in the Health food stores.

What about substituting malt extract with Ovaltine?Just checked and it's made of 40 pc of barley and malt extract and only 8pc of cocoa.
Will try these after dinner
