I've only tried one, but it was amazing. Hers were much flatter though, so I suspect she didn't chill the mixture before baking. What a lovely offering to bring to afternoon tea. It sounds like an afternoon well spent.

I used an egg because I thought it would make the biscuits crisper but mine were not at all crisp so I am sure the flax egg would work (when I don't use eggs sometimes the texture misses the crispness and holding together but it would be fine here I think). Maybe next time I have a burst of energy myself I might try these veganisedJohanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-77345317597122817382017-07-17T23:38:04.243+10:002017-07-17T23:38:04.243+10:00Thanks Lorraine - it never occurred to me until it...Thanks Lorraine - it never occurred to me until it was mentioned but the sesame seeds look quite unusual in a biscuitJohanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-72513812761090003462017-07-13T17:12:19.440+10:002017-07-13T17:12:19.440+10:00Yes your offering is mighty compared to the other ...Yes your offering is mighty compared to the other bite sized morsels.
