Really lovely, mildly p.b. flavored biscuits. I made a half recipe and enjoyed two for lunch. I spread them with no sugar added apricot jam and paired them with a good cuppa Tetley's tea. One of the things I like about biscuits and scones is how easy they are to make and the goodness you get for such a small amount of work. The recipe makes biscuits that are very nicely textured inside.
