Though I started a starch, sugar and fruit free diet last week (and have so far lost 9lb - thank you South Beach) this is not going to stop me in my endeavour to improve my baking skills before I attempt an entry in the 2013 Great British Bake Off. Work is hopefully going to be appreciative.
The recipe for the "Fork Biscuits" is pretty straight forward, sugar, self raising flour and butter (though I have added in a dessert spoon of good vanilla) and they look very similar in appearance to the "Lime Lattice Cookies" that I baked a few weeks ago. I just have to hope I have the strength to resist eating even one single bite of one of them.
They don't look like much at all, but they smell really good and if the mix (which I resisted adding water to when it didn't bind as well as I wanted it to) which is very light and crumbly, is anything to go by then they will be light and crumbly when baked.
They don't take much time at all to cook - just a matter of 10-12 minutes to turn a light golden brown in a fan assisted oven, then they just have to cool on a cooling tray and they can be packed in a biscuit tin. This time tomorrow they should all be gone and I will have hopefully resisted eating a single bite of one of them.
