Comments / Reviews of Golden Sultana Biscuits
Absolutely the easiest and tastiest biscuits. Haven’t made any for a few years but will be now.
Excellent. After cooking my biscuits I realised I had used self raising flour, but the biscuits came out lovely crunchy on outside and soft in the middle.
Easy simple recipe. Glad I used 113 g butter and not 125g, mixture was on soft side but biscuits didn't spread and taste delicious.
Epic easy as recipe to follow, yummy!!! Used gluten free flour and removed sugar and replaced with rice malt syrup... still yummy!!!
Easy and delicious. Mine were perfect at 11 minutes so it depends on your oven. I made 3 batches so just muck around with the timing.
follow recipe came out great melted in my mouth. fast and easy...
Make these in a dairy free way (zero lacto milk and olivani) for my flatmates and I - they love. Easy n fast
So excited to find this recipe, my mum use to make them all the time growing up in the 80's, she past away a couple of years ago, now I can make them for my kids! Thanks :)
YEA!!!! YES!!!!! YES!!!!! Thankyou....... I have been searching for this recipe for ages. My Mum started making these 50yrs ago when I were little..This was one of the weekly bickies she made for our play lunch's. She mostly used raisins instead of sultanas. Yummy.
Made today- Gorgeous! Thanks for posting receipe.
They are cooking in the oven as we speak :) Really easy recipe to follow! I was just wondering my mixture felt a bit oily so i think i may have added a little more butter than i should but they look really yum!
Quick, easy and delicious! :-) As with other posters, I measured my butter out at 125g and the mixture was perfect. These have become a firm favourite of my eldest son and I'm going to test them out at the preschool I cook for tomorrow. :-D
After reading the comments, I weighed my butter to make sure I got the full 125 grams. The dough was the perfect consistency to roll into balls using that amount. I cooked them for exactly the 12 minutes and they turned out just right, slightly crunchy on the outside and just a little bit soft in the centre... exactly how I like my biscuits!! Thanks for the recipe.
My family love this recipe and I can't believe that it has 2 bad reviews and only 1 good one (from people other than me). This is a easy recipe that produces super yummy biscuits! Lizzie - They are dry, they're a bisuit (or a cookie if you in the States)...
I was really dissapointed with this recipe. The mixture was far to dry and crumbled so I had to add alot more butter and even then they were dry once cooked. I only bothered cooking half the batch and biffed the remaining mixture.
This recipe is absolutely amazing. My kids and husband think these biscuits are scrummy. Have made them plenty of times without any disaster. A big thumbs up!!!!!!
This recipe definitely works as I use it all the time...at least once a month. Maybe your 1/2 cup of butter measurement was off..? 125g of butter is 1/2 a cup and is plenty!! The mix is a firm mix that you roll into balls.
I tried making these but with 1/2 cup butter it was far too dry to mix. Wasn't sure what to add so added some water - a big mistake.
