Cheese and biscuits anyone.

Advantages: tasty
Disadvantages: I get fat eating too much cheese

...Cheese and biscuits anyone. Just getting some milk from my fridge I saw the cheese I just had to nibble a piece. Then I felt an opp coming on (you know the feeling) I sat down at my computer to write these cheesy words. This cheese is called cathedral city mature there is also an extra mature one available. Cathedral city is available in a lot of supermarkets. Dairycrest in the West Country produces it This cheese is made to a traditional recipe. The extra mature one ripens for 16 months before being sold. I bought mine in Tesco?s It cost me about £1.80 for about 190 g the label is ripped I can only just read it. I know it is available in pieces up to200g at one price and then between 200gand 400g at a slightly cheaper price. The cheese has a use by date on it. This cheese does keep very well in a fridge. This cheese...

Spicy Biscuits

Advantages: Tastes amazing!
Disadvantages: Always get eaten by housemates before I get round to trying one!

...As a child I absolutely loved cooking with my Mum. I have really clear memories of me standing on a chair against the kitchen side helping her makes cakes and buns. Sadly the older I got the less I used to cook, but when I went to university I got back into it. Lets face it?on a boring Sunday afternoon what is better than making loads of biscuits for your housemates (in fact I used them as a bribe to give me more time to pay my bills!!!) I love cooking any type of food, but biscuits offer the most satisfaction I would say! This recipe was first made by me and my Mum when I was four and is, lets face it, rather nostalgic. I have made it loads of times for my housemates and they love them, so I thought I would share it on here. SPICY BISCUITS comes courtesy of my Mum and a mixture of many cooks books over the years. I found it...

Gingernut Biscuits

Advantages: Oh so heavenly!
Disadvantages: They taste better on the second day, but they're so tempting!

...I take my role as "housewife" very seriously. I'm so 1950s, it hurts. Anyway, home-baking has now become an integral part of my routine, and you'll always find fresh-baked cakes and biscuits in our kitchen. I have small children, and shudder with horror at all the additives shop-bought treats contain. It's not good for my figure, but I'm saving my children from chemical nasties. That's how I'm justifying it anyway. So, gingernut biscuits. I found this recipe fairly recently, and it's going down a storm in the Douthwaite household. It's too good to keep to myself, and it's so simple that even my three-year-old can do most of it (except the hot stuff. I'm not that irresponsible!). Plus, they only take 10 minutes to prepare and 15 minutes to cook, so you're in and out of the kitchen pretty quick. This is a real bonus for me - I love...

Homemade cakes and biscuits

Advantages: Tasty, easy to make
Disadvantages: Fattening

...Here are a selection of my favorite homemade cakes and biscuits. All of them are very easy to make and don't take too long to make them either. RICH BISCUITS 225g or 8oz self raising flour 100g or 4oz caster sugar 100g or 4 oz butter or margarine half a lemon for the juice 1 egg beaten First of all you need to heat your oven to gas mark 4 and grease 2 baking trays. Then mix the flour and sugar together and then rub in the margarine. This is the messy part rubbing in the margarine. Add the lemon juice and enough egg to make a stiff dough. Roll out thinly and cut in to circles. Place on the baking tray and bake for about 15 minutes. ------------------------------------------------------ MELTING MOMENTS 65g or 2 ½ oz Margarine 40g or 1 ½ oz lard 75g or 3 oz caster sugar ½ egg 1 tsp vanilla essence...

Jacob's the only biscuits for cheese!

Advantages: inexpensive.
Disadvantages: Loses freshness once opened

.... Choice grain cracker - this is again square. It is brown coloured, with specks inlaid, it is crispier than the cream cracker, snaps when broken and has a wheaty flavour when eaten on its own. It contains wheat bean, kibbled wheat and rye and barley flakes. Water Biscuits - these are very hard, light, thin and round and very dry and crunchy when eaten on their own and only contain 23 calories. Digestives - these are rectangular in shape and have the words Jacobs written on them. They are brown coloured, have a slight sweet taste and are more of a biscuit than a crackers. Cheddars - these are thin, slightly smaller than the other biscuits and circular. They are golden in colour, crispy and have a distinct cheesy flavour, as they are made with cheddar cheese and could be quite easily eaten on their own. Savours - these are again round like...

Jarlsberg cheese

Advantages: A sweet,nutty Norwegian cheese
Disadvantages: none

...Jarlsberg cheese named after the Norwegian county where it was first made, maybe doesn't have the popularity of Emmental ,but it is a versatile all purpose cows milk cheese,it can be used in cooking as well as being a welcome addition to any cheeseboard sandwich or salad. A very similar appearance to Emmethal ,a golden waxy rind with a nutty mild,rich,mellow and slightly sweet and shiny golden interior filled with irregular holes. Jarlsberg was created by a Norwegian dairy farmer,Andres Larsen Bakke,way back in the 1850`s. Jarlsberg is one of Norway's biggest exports. It is a firm favourite of mine,especially for cooking,the cheese melts beautifully and has a subtle flavour that will sit in the background rather than appear overpowering. Jarlsberg has a slightly lower fat content than Swiss cheese too. We really enjoy making...

Biscuits with cows on!

Advantages: Taste lovely, cheap to buy
Disadvantages: A few calories!

...As you may know I am currently recovering from Swine Flu. Dave brought it back from Scotland and shared it with me ? how kind! It?s a good job I love him! Anyway we did a bit of shopping at the weekend and I decided to get one of two treats for when he goes back and I am here on my own. I wanted something nice but not too high on sugar and calories as I do find it far too easy to think ? oh, I?m not very well I will eat what I like to cheer myself up ? not as good idea where I am concerned! One of the things I decided to buy was a packet of Tesco Malted Milk biscuits. I used to eat these a lot when I was younger but haven?t had any for ages. The Cost A 200g packet of Tesco Malted Milk biscuits cost me just 35p and for that I got about 22 biscuits. I must admit I consider that a bargain so that?s a good start. The Packaging...

Rough Biscuits

Advantages: Yummy, can be a money earner
Disadvantages: too many can be a bit of a disadvantage

...I can't remember where I got this recipe from, but I have been using it for about 20 years or so. Its a very easy recipe, children can join in making them and you can add all sorts of other things to the recipe like chocolate chips, nuts or fruit. Just one word of warning though, these are very morish biscuites and once you start eating them you may find it hard to resist eating more, if you eat too many at one time they can have the adverse effect of giving you flatulence, you know LOL the smelly kind! I'm in the red cross and used to help out with the youth section, we needed to raise some money to update some of the youth equipmet. I decided to do a fun run in my village to raise some funds, apart from organising the fun run ect I also had a refreshments tent in the field from where the run started and finished...

Priory Biscuits

Advantages: Easy to make
Disadvantages: Mmmmm none that I can think of

...I first tasted these a few years ago in high school in my home economics class. I just found the receipe the other day and they still taste as good as I remember! What you need: 50g porage oats 50g self raising flour 50g caster sugar 50g margarine or butter 1 x 10ml syrup Put your oven on at 180oC or Gas mark 4 Put the flour, oats and sugar into a large bowl. Measure the margarine and syrup into a pan. (I find that if you put to much syrup in the biscuits are too hard and crunchy) Melt over a low heat and add in all the dry ingredients. Mix well and then divide into 16 equal pieces (this is a messy stage) Roll the pieces into balls and put them onto a greased baking sheet. Flatten the balls slightky and pop them into the oven. Bake them until golden brown, this takes about 10-15 minutes. When they are...
