Friday Food - Condensed Milk Biscuits

I came across this recipe through one of my favourite blogs, fatmumslim. I thought that I could use an easy, tasty biscuit recipe... So I tried it. It is a great recipe. Had to share.

Condensed Milk Biscuits 

Condensed milk biscuits are easy to make, cheap, delicious and the recipe make HEAPS of them!  I have wrapped up sets of two biscuits in cling film, packed them into large zip-lock bags and frozen them for school lunches. They are a big hit around here!

Prep time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 12-15 minutes
Serves: approximately 100!


Ingredients:
500 grams of softened un-salted butter
1/2 cup of caster sugar
1 tin of sweetened condensed milk
5 cups of self-raising flour


Method:

1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celcius, line LOTS of baking trays!
2. Cream butter, sugar and condensed milk together in a BIG bowl
3. Add flour and mix well
4. Roll teaspoonfuls into balls and pop onto the lined trays
5. Press with a fork or see 'Variations' below and bake for 12-15 mins depending on your oven and how dark you like your biscuits
6. Do try to wait until they are cool before eating, we don't need burnt tongues!

Variations:

• Push a chocolate freckle into the top - my kids' favourite!
• Roll into hundreds and thousands
• Push the end of a wooden spoon into each biscuit making a little hole. Then put 2 tbsp of jam into a zip-lock bag, twist it up so that all the jam is pressed into one corner. Snip off a tiny hole in the bag and squirt a dollop of jam into each biscuit
• Roll in chocolate chips or mini m&ms
• Roll in cinnamon and sugar
• All of the above for a biscuit tin of fun!
• I have also tried to use my biscuit press with this dough. I think that with some more trials, this dough would work - I just have to kneed it a bit more to make the mixture softer

*edit* Just realised that the photos above show my massive baking trays full of biscuits... I have a 90cm oven so I only have to make 2 trays of biscuits. Makes them super quick to get through the oven!
