Second attempt today, followed a different recipe with lots more of everything it seemed. Wasn't 100% sure how long to cook them but they looked ok when they came out. But this time maybe not dry enough. Taste test was a little too buttery for me so next time is less butter. Soon I will have them perfect.
I like this making my own snacks, what shall I try next?
try a fruit loaf. easy to bake and carry whilst out. and you can pretty much put anything in them

ReplyDeleteI may forgive you if there is doughnuts!
Doughnuts I can do :)
ReplyDeleteI make a lot of cakes for riding. I like this one a lot cos it's all fruit and tastes good. I also play around with the fruit I put in and have done it half flour half oats. It's all good. It's called Amazing Cake as has no eggs and no butter / oil.
