The perfect mix of sweet and salty.
These caramel biscuits are made with either maltexo or golden syrup and are made in just one pot!
One pot!
Less dishes!
No cake mixer needed!
These biscuits have a crisp outside, which makes them perfect for dunking, and a soft chewy inside.
They are so easy to whip up and in fact I made them before the kids got out of bed this morning without waking anyone up in our wee cottage, because I didn’t need any noisy equipment to make them.
They are also eggless for anyone with an egg allergy!
I was given this recipe from a wonderful lady named Mrs Isbister who gave me handwritten pile of her best, tried and true recipes that she used while cooking on their family farm. Not one recipe is a fail!

Do I need to refrigerate the mixture?
There is no need to refrigerate the mixture. But do allow it to cool on the bench top for 5-10 minutes until the mixture begins to firm up.
