This is a great biscuit recipe which has been passed down through our family over the years and is quick and easy to make. Even Tesco make something similar now – but homemade is best!
6oz Self Raising Flour
4oz Marge
4 oz Granulated Sugar
Approx 2 tbs Cocoa
A little milk
Cream sugar and marge together. Add sifted flour, cocoa and milk alternately to make a soft binding consistency. Add a little more milk as necessary. Roll out into a large sausage shape with your hands. Cut into small slices and shape into flat, thick round biscuits.
Place on floured baking tray and bake in oven 350°F, 180°C, Gas Mark 4 for 15 minutes when mixture will crack and still look unbaked. Remove from oven and place on cooling try.
Chocolate chips can also be added during mixing if preferred.
