Instead of all purpose flour can I use Coles white self raising flour? Also can I add in an egg yolk into the recipe?

This was really nice! It was easy to make and even easy to slice thin which surprised me, Will be a nice gift idea too. Will make again for sure.

Eihave made a similar recipe previously and found this very confusing. It is really important to specify whether temps. Are Celsius or Fahrenheit. The whole thing is ruined if you use 250 F to dry it out!!

I made this for the first time and it came out great. I will be making more later this week to go in the christmas hampers. I used my deli slicer to cut them 4mm thick, wasn't sure if they could go thinner and didn't want to risk ruining them. I may try with a few in my next batch. I cooked them the second time for about 35 minutes, though I may cook for less next time as they got a bit of colour. Thanks for posting this easy recipe.
