My local bakery sells these, so was delighted to find a recipe (it's only open 3 days a week!). Easy recipe, delicious biscuits - my one bit of advice would be to chill the mixture in the fridge for about 15 minutes before making balls and baking, as it is easier to handle when it's a bit firmer. - 14 Jan 2015
Really easy to make and very tasty . I did take the advice from a previous review and chilled the mixture for 15 mins , made it easier to work with . Would recommend . Would be a great recipe to use if baking with children too . - 03 Mar 2016
