or www.astray.com/recipes/?show=Rich%20tea%20biscuits

what the blardy hell is shortening?

Shortening is suet I think - or something like Stork?

but they only cost 40p why create all that washing up?...you ned to learn a language or something

already learning spanish and italian

i like to cook and so does ds. we normally do biscuits cos they are fairly easy.

Ew!! According to Wiki it's hydrogenated veg fat but I always thought that shortening just referred to fat - butter, lard, veg fat (Trex/White Flora), marge.

Now that Trex is non-hydrogenated I'd go with that...

I like rich teas but I'd think they'd be hard to replicate - I always make shortbread if I'm doing biccies
