Making biscuits is easy and fun and are so much nicer than shop bought – plus you can make them whatever size you like!
Pecan And Cranberry
I love dried cranberries. Small, sweet yet with a sharpness they are a great addition to any recipe calling for dried fruit. Such as in these Flapjacks with Fruit And Seeds
Cranberries grow in North America as do pecan nuts so this is these are really quite American biscuits – or should that be cookies.
These pecan and cranberry cookies are amongst my favourites.
With an ‘all in one’ approach, as all the ingredients go in one bowl – they are quick to put together and only need 12-15 minutes in the oven. The recipe calls for Muscavado sugar to give a darker molasses flavour , but do use ordinary brown sugar or even all caster sugar if you don’t have any muscavado sugar in your store cupboards
