could someone please look up her recipe for malt biscuits for me. Mine is still packed away and I can not get at it and haven't written it down. I had a look in the library but they only have her latest book and that doesn't have it in. Thanks everyone much appreciated.

thanks heaps.
I buy the malt at supermarket, either as plain malt or the one with halibut orange added. Both are nice in baking, but I don't like them very much on there own. Either found with the sugars (golden syrup), baking aisle or in thesupliments (sp) aisle ie where the vitamins and minerals are. Oh and instead of vi-max which you can no longer get I use rye meal flour.

I haven't had it since I was a kiddie, but I loved malt with what I thought was Vitamin C, but halibut oil makes more sense.My mum used to give us a spoonful a day; probably during winter. It was medicinal, and I suppose the malt was to make the fish oil more palatable. But to me it was such a treat. Lovely memory. Thanks jessie and grandma

Meant to build you up & keep healthy. LOL I certainly didn't need it. Didn't like the Halibut Orange flavour. Some kids had to take Lanes Emulsion!
Still love the malt (Maltexo) and loved the Lanes Emulsion. My boys were bought up with Maltexo and warm milk.
