A British biscuit is called a cookie in the United States so this cookbook is going to be one of my favorites. I LOVE cookies. They are probably my favorite dessert or snack. I could eat cookies for breakfast and noshing on a few digestive cookies with tea could be breakfast. You will find a recipe for Digestives in this cookbook.Other recipes you will find in this cookbook include:GingernutsFlapjacks (a cookie not a pancake)Petticoat TailsCustard CreamsAnazac BiscuitsRich Tea BiscuitsSavory Cheese BiscuitsThere are a few photos in this cookbook and an active table of contents making it easy to select the recipe you want.Some of the recipes are not clear about what ingredients to use. In the recipe for Rich Tea Biscuits syrup is used as an ingredient. It is not clear what type of syrup is to be used. In another recipe self-rising flour is listed with all-purpose flour suggested as a substitution. Unfortunately the two flours are not interchangeable. Self-rising flour contains leavening agents while all-purpose flour does not. This would be a better book if the ingredients called for were explained better in the recipes.Recommend with caveats given.
