For some reason I feel inspired to share my biscut recipe today.  It's not very exact as it's all to memory, which I know will frustrate the heck out of some of you.  I think it actually should be called a cookie recipie as it was originally adapted from a Sesame Street book, but I'm Australian, so I'll stick with bikkies.

Cream 1 cup sugar and 3/4 cup of soft (room-temerature) butter or margarine.

Mix in 1 egg and a couple of drops of vanilla essance (to taste).

Gradually mix in 2 1/2 cups of self raising flour (or plain flour with bi carb added as per packet instructions).

Cook in a medium heat oven to taste - are good chewy or golden brown.

The wonderful thing about this recipie is that it can be varied with different flavours instead of vanilla.  You can add choc chips or you can even substitute 1/2 cup of the flour for cocoa and add white choc chips.  They're also good with fruit and nut combos like walnut and cherry or orange and choc.  Again there are no exact measurements, just do it to taste.  You can also do jam drops by rolling them in balls, pushing down the centre with your thumb and putting a spoonfull of jam in the dimple.

So there you go, just don't use this as a metonymy for my general level of cullinary ability as it's not existant.
