I have never made Afghan biscuits before. Thought I've give it a go. However I just have a big bowl of 'crumbly mixture' that wont hold together to put on the baking tray ?! I measured everything exactly as in recipe (Edmonds). Double checked by looking at 2 other afghan recipes....help please. Could I throw in an egg to help bind it ? lol I don't want to bin the ingredients.

add perhaps a little bit more butter, but it is a crumbly mix and you just work it till it squishes together, dont add an egg.

Don't add an egg...just add a little milk, squeeze them together and they'll be fine.

I always use a little more butter than the recipe states roughly 15g more and they come out great

Hi Don't add too much extra liquid until you have handled the mixture well- work it it in your hands rpeatedly. The heat of your hands will melt the butter, work it well. If it is still too dry then add butter etc.
