Loads of Biscuits Recipe - Great for Freezing

I used this recipe when my children were young. It is a simple and quick recipe that is versatile, as you can make them in whatever flavour you wish.
Print Recipe
biscuits ready to be baked, they are topped with sprinkles
Prep Time:5 minutes
Cook Time:10 minutes
Total Time:15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 450 g soft butter
  • 450 g sugar
  • 397 g tin of sweetened condensed milk or make up my recipe linked in the post
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence
  • 5 cups plain flour
  • 2 tbsp baking powder

Instructions

  • Place the first four ingredients into a bowl and beat until well combined and fluffy.
  • Add the remaining ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon or you can use you clean hands if you like.
  • If the mix is too wet, add more flour a little at a time until you have a dough that can mold in your hands into a ball without being too sticky.
  • Roll the dough into whatever-sized biscuit you want. The smaller the biscuit the more you get. The biscuits will get slightly bigger after baking.
  • Divide the dough to make up other flavors or follow the video to see how I added mine.
  • Bake @190℃ for 10 minutes or until just starting to be golden.
  • Once they are cold, pop them onto a tray and freeze them separately for a couple of hours. Then, bag them up in freezer-safe bags, and they will be free-flowed and easy to grab one at a time.

Notes

Here is a list of just a few ideas for you. In the video we used 100's and 1,000's (sprinkles) and plain chocolate buttons.
    • Cornflakes and 1 tbsp of cocoa powder
    • Cocoa powder and chocolate chip
    • Flavored Essences
    • Nuts
    • Dried fruit
    • Freeze Dried Powder
    • Sprinkles
    • Chucks of chocolate bars
Servings: 4 trays or more
