Mums choc chip biscuit recipe!

I had an interesting email today from a friend about a 'Friends Recipe Exchange' so I typed up this recipe and sent it allong to the lady whose name was on the top of the list. I thought that while it was there I might as well copy and paste it here so that more people can give it a go if desired.

Here's my mums recipe for her choc chip biscuits, I grew up on these biscuits so I think they are the best.

2 cups Plain Flour
1/2 cup sugar, just the regular kind will do
150g butter or margarine, room temp
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp bicarb soda
1/2 cup milk
1 small packet of nestle dark choc chips

Rub the butter into the dry ingredients till combined, add milk a little at a time. You may not need all the milk, or you may need a little more, just judge it for yourself. The mix should be a little sticky, but not too wet and all the dry ingredients are combined. Add the choc chips last, because you don't want to over mix with them in there. Mix gently and they are ready to bake.

Place rough balls of the dough on a lined baking tray, the main appeal of this biscuit is that it doesn't take allot of work and they look home made, so just spoon full's of the mixture on a tray is fine. Roughly press the tops of the biscuits with a fork, not too flat because they are nice when they are thick and cakey.

Bake in a moderate oven, 160 - 180 for approx 10 minutes. They will be ready when the bottoms are nicely browned and the tops are slightly golden. Please note they are not crispy biscuits, they are supposed to be thick and cake like.

Make sure to eat when they are warm and the choc chips are still melted in the middle with a large glass of cold milk!!!

Enjoy
