Anybody wanna peanut?

3rd April 2011 - Granny's Peanut Biscuits

After a weekend at home for a wedding I was able to collect lots of cool new recipes (and lots of cool new bruises). Was an amazing wedding, caught up with everyone who has ever lived in Kiama, fell down the stairs in the pub and watched one of the best couples I know say “I do”.


I knew it was going to be a hectic week as I was going away for a work love-in and had a million other things on, so I got straight to it and cooked Granny's Peanut Biscuits.

Granny can't write anymore, so I was able to scan this recipe from mums scrap book so I could still have Granny's writing. The biscuits were super easy and were quite nice in the end.

I hadn’t seen anyone else make them before so I'm not sure if they e the right texture and they felt really really weird. I think that that is something to do with the egg. I didn't so much beat it, as just kind of chuck it in, but it was ok.

I was sure to make the biscuits much smaller this time, but they weren't as sweet as the choc chip ones so probably would have been fine anyway. They went brown really quickly but I probably left them in for about 12 minutes. Some of the larger ones probably could have done with a bit longer, but I took them to work and they were gone within a day, so I'm not going to worry.

Tips: watch them in the oven, as they really do cook quite quickly
