Made this at 11.30 this morning. Checked it at 4.30pm, tried cutting it at 7.45pm and still as soft as it was at 4.30. What do you think went wrong?

Can you recommend a biscuit please? Rich tea, ginger nuts, digestives???? x
laurenm83
Hi Fiona, I think either a digestive or rich tea (if that’s a plain biscuit) would work the best.
I’d love to hear what you end up using.
Have a great day
