Using Broken Biscuits
Dear Aunt Daisy, I have accumulated quite an amount of broken biscuits, both sweet and the unsweetened variety, and am wondering how I could use them up to the best advantage. I prefer to make some kind of cake or biscuits, not puddings. I would like something I could put away in a tin, and ‘keep. Hoping you will be able to help me, and thanking you for past assistance,--E.B. (Epsom). GOOD BOILED CAKE:-'‘lb. butter, Y2lb. sugar. Put into a saucepan and melt. Beat up 2 eggs and add. Stir till thick. Mix in 1 tablespoon cocoa, 2 teaspoon vanilla, lb. chopped walnuts and I cup sultanas. Lastly add 1lb. round wine biscuits broken with the rolling pin, not too fine. Press into greased, square tin. Ready next day. MOCK ALMOND PASTE: — Halt pound round wine biscuits (leave 2 out), Wyilb. icing sugar, 2 eggs, 2 teaspoons almond essence, Crush wine biscuits fine with rolling pin. Add icing sugar, and beaten eggs and almond flavouring, Blend well. LOG CAKE:-Halt pound sweet biscuits (wine or vanilla, or malt); Ib. butter, Y%4lb. brown sugar, 1 egg, Yalb. chopped nuts; 2 tablespoons cocoa, Warm butter in saucepan, add sugar, egg and cocoa. Stir for one minute. Add the crushed biscuits and nuts. Leave until cold-it can be moulded into any shape desired.
