Cornish Fairings

Ben and I made these biscuits this morning. They turned out to be a good choice.
They were quick and easy to make, and very tasty. It made 24 biscuits from quite a small amount of mixture.
My only comments would be that the mixture was too wet to roll into balls - we just tried to make little round piles, which seemed to turn out ok.
Also, the recipe said to bake them for 10 mins, then bang the trays on a solid surface before returning to the oven for 5 mins. It also said to take care not to bake the biscuits for too long.
Knowing that my oven often bakes things quicker, I baked them for 8 mins. When I took them out, they were already quite brown, so I only gave them another 2 mins after banging them. They are crunchy on the outside, with a bit of a chew in the centre. Very tasty 9.0
p.s for all of you who are concerned for our waistlines, you will be relieved to know that we are continuing to share all the baking!
