I'm wanting a simple biscuit recipe that's not hard to the bite. Something like the texture of Edmonds yo-yo recipe. Have tried recipes from the net & they've soo far not lived up to their names. Softness is the priority, the flavour's not soo important. ( I always use a sifter/sieve ) Tia

nisty, I have never had, nor know of anyone who has had any problem with biting into these:-

INSTANT PUDDING BISCUITS

170g butter
¾ cup sugar
1 egg
1 x ~84g packet Instant Pudding Mix -flavour of choice
1½ cups flour
3 tbsp cornflour - I use household tbsp for this rather than a standard measuring tbsp
1 tsp baking powder

Cream the butter and sugar. Add the egg, then the Instant Pudding Mix.
Sift the remaining ingredients together, then add them and mix well. Roll the mixture into balls and place them on a greased tray, then flatten each slightly.
Bake at 180°C for approximately 10-15 minutes.

Hope that helps. :-))

I can't honestly say that I've ever baked a biscuit with instant pudding mix in it, will definitely add a few packets of that to this weeks shopping list. Your recipe has also given me some inspiration & ideas. Thank you 245sam

Oh goodie, I have all those ingredients thanks pam.delilah :-) * skips off to the kitchen, he he he *

Agreed. Unfortunately there isn't the same selection of flavours in the instant pudding range now - there used to be a lot of fruity flavours that aren't available and IMO they were equally as nice. banana, lemon, lime, orange, raspberry - there still is a strawberry one though. :-))

let me know how you get on, Pam

LOL love the colour . when I saw the heading I was going to say about the instant pudding recipe which someone posted on my f/b page just yesterday. I must try them as well.
nisty, Nov 17, 2:04am
To me they actually look a lot greener in the photo than they really are. They're more of a lightish green/blue colour with blue flecks. Either way they're delicious :-)
pam.delilah, Nov 17, 2:23am
a thought , they may have come out green due to the butter adding a yellow colour as blue and yellow makes green. Creaming the butter and sugar until a very light colour may make them come out a more blue

I think green biscuits is great!

i make these cookies with butterscotch instant pud mix and add a handful of choc or caramel chips. take them out of the oven when they are still a bit soft. if they hard in the oven they'll be rockcakes
nisty, Nov 17, 2:46am
OMG! Caramel! I didn't know that you could buy caramel bits. That sounds delish. My shopping list appears to be growing :-) Rockcakes lol.
