Lewis Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 I made some of these for rehearsals, and someone said he felt like a giant with small biscuits. So this week I made a HUGE one and he wasn't there! ....do you need any help eating it? We chopped it into slices like a cake and ate it like that!

Guest Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 I made some today and they were much enjoyed by both my pole dancing class and my Hen party people. I've eaten 3 so far Just one point - could you modify the recipe for people like me that read one thing at a time. I read to combine all the dry ingredients and set aside - which I did Then I read to cream the butter and the sugar Well the sugar was already combined with the dry ingredients! They came out OK Oh I seem to have eaten another one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did exactly the same thing too I always treat recipes like exam papers - read through to the end before you start ....or, at least, I read the method properly but I am notoriously bad at speed-reading the ingredients I often have to improvise with ingredients Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Snickerdoodle is in Matilda. It's on tele now, and when Matilda's dad dyes his hair blonde, the mom throws cereal on the floor, and shouts: "Snickerdoodle, what have you done to your hair!?!"

The Dogmother Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 I have the snickerdoodle recipe in a Cookies book that I have. I hadn't noticed it, but Rosie had the book out to go through some recipes to see what to make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted November 23, 2008 Author Share Posted November 23, 2008 The recipe is hand written in one of the Farmhouse Cookery books Mum handed on to me when I got married so goodness knows where she found it originally to copy out. It's also in Nigella's Domestic Goddess book more recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't Nobody Here Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I've just made some Snickerdoodles too - they look and smell lovely . Now for a bakonumpty question - are they supposed to spread out a lot? I left the 2" gap between them but they've stayed much the same size as when I flattened them slightly . I'm leaving them to cool. Actually, I'll be back in a minute . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 They do spread a bit ANH - but they don't meet, if that helps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Mine didn't flatten/spread out much, but I think it's because they were quite thick and not runny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Mine didnt' spread much either so the second time I left much smaller gaps and used 1 less baking tray! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
