Perfect!
I used a little less sugar and added half a cup of crushed almonds.
These will become a regular in my house!
Helen
Delicious biscuits nice and crunchy. Will make again.

Too sweet. Suggest only putting 150g of sugar in.
But overall, pretty nice. Also good with icing and sprinkles on top.

I was looking for a few ways to use some Tasmanian Leatherwood honey as I was gifted a couple of jars (lucky me, it’s lovely) and tried it with this recipe – FANTASTIC! The next time (today!) I will probably add a little more honey just to boost the flavour as it was there but is such a distinctive taste I’d like it a little more prominent.
