Milo Biscuits

Got this recipe from a friend, thought I'd try them out and post if I liked them......
And YES I liked them as did all of the kids who were here at the time.....

125g butter
200g of sugar
240g SR Flour
50g Milo
1 egg

Cream butter and sugar on Speed 5 for 30 seconds
Add egg, flour and Milo mix on Speed 5 for 10 seconds 
Then on Interval Speed until combined - 20 seconds approx
I had to actually use my hand/spatula a bit to mix, it's quite a dry mixture
Roll into balls and bake in 180 degree oven for 10-15 minutes. 
Remove from oven and let cool 
ENJOY
Makes about 25 biscuits

I did a double batch, perhaps that's why my dough was hard to kneed - I also put a bit less sugar in (150g)

TUESDAY TESTIMONIALS.........

TESTIMONIAL NUMBER 4
A happy customer of mine shares her thoughts on the Thermomix!  

 I absolutely love my Thermomix, I use it almost every day, usually several times.

It is a massive time saver, it means hands free cooking so I can go and do other things. 

It’s also definitely a money saver.

It’s healthier as so much of what I cook is ‘from scratch ‘ without the use of processed and preservative laden jars etc.

It’s a mess saver, there are a quarter the dishes I used to leave after cooking. 

It’s ease means I can cook the ‘normal’ stuff twice as quick and now I cook more of the ‘extravagant ‘stuff I hardly ever cooked before.

My teenage son has even told me he’s going to get one when he leaves home!
