Made some biscuits

[palinurus]

Ms. P wanted some biscuits. We never have biscuits in the flat because we hardly ever eat them. Couldn't be arsed to go out and get some, couldn't be arsed to look up a recipe either.

Never made biscuits before so I had a bit of a guess. Rubbed a bit of flour into some butter, whanged in some sugar, stirred in a bit of peanut butter (why not) and a teaspoon of water, rolled 'em out, cut 'em out with a jam jar and baked 'em. About 25 minutes start to finish I reckon, 20 minutes of that was reading the paper while I waited for them to cook.

F*** knows if that's how you're supposed to make biscuits but they looked like biscuits and they tasted like biscuits and Ms. P was happy with them.

They weren't firm enough for dunking though.

YUM

I think I need to go make a cuppa tea and have a biscuit dunking session

You'd be okay on a desert island, Paulinurus, with that sort of never-say-die attitude.
You could have some pastry cutters as your luxury item

I've been doing a lot of improvising this week as I'm trying to use up a load of canned and dried stuff thats been hanging around in our kitchen for ages.

I made some patties yesterday out of a can of chickpeas, onion, flour, egg, some spices and fresh coriander with a tomato sauce partly made of the dregs of a couple of bottles of ketchup which were at the back of the fridge. Total success it was, Ms P very happy.

The patties sound like they need wrapping in pastry next time.

If I hadn't used the butter and flour to make the biscuits..
