Fork biscuits again!

The Cake Friday brigade enjoyed a change this week. Since several of them are trying to lose weight I decided that I’d try to do my bit to help…. Usually I make a batch of brownie, that’s 24 pieces of cake, or lots of scones, lemon drizzle wedges or ginger cake. Four little boxes are delivered to some on the list then the rest goes to a group of three, sometimes four peeps in a bigger shop. That’s a lot of cake. So this week I changed the plan and made a batch of Fork biscuits, they’re always popular as they are buttery and crumbly, made with just three ingredients. Mike Liggins had a go at making them on BBC Look East, getting into a bit of a muddle because he hadn’t read the recipe properly and added water rather than squeezing the dough together. So it was a batch of sixteen that I produced again this week, but wrapped pairs of biscuits in silver foil. Two of the shopkeepers ate them immediately, enjoying them immensely and I found myself with one package to spare. Happily I was able to send it to my nonagenarian friend who I haven’t seen for a very long time – I hope she enjoyed them too!
