Cheap Biscuits - Butterscotch Melters
These little biscuits just melt in your mouth.
They are great for lunch boxes too.
You can even sandwich them
together with a little icing, although that is making them
sweeter than needs be.
A decorative alternative
without added too many calories is to dust them with icing
sugar.

Ingredients:
Spray oil to grease the baking tray
150 gm soft butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons golden syrup
2 cups self raising flour
Pinch salt
Optional - 1/2 cup choc bits to decorate biscuits
Method:
Heat oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
Beat butter, sugar and golden syrup in a
mixing bowl till light and creamy. Add flour and
salt. Mix well.
Take walnut sized blobs of mixture and
gently roll them into balls.
Repeat with the remainder of the mixture. Place on baking
tray allowing room for the biscuits to spread. Flatten
each ball slightly with the back of a fork or the tips of
your fingers.
Bake for 10 - 12 minutes on 180 degrees
Celsius (350
degrees Fahrenheit) or until golden
in colour. Cool on a wire rack.
If desired, melt the choc bits over a bowl of hot water
and dip the biscuits in to the melted chocolate.

Notes:
Alternate decoration could be half a
glace cherry gently pushed into the top of each
biscuit before cooking. |
