I found this recipe and immediately I thought of Tiff and Ivy, as well as Hyphen-Mama. It looked like it would make pretty nice biscuits (cookies).

*note.. soy flour has a strong flavour and can be bitter, apparently the bitterness decreases with cooking.

*another note.. I haven’t cooked these bickies so if they are horrible, I am sorry.

INGREDIENTS:

125g(4 1/2oz) unsalted butter

3 tablespoons brown sugar

3 tablespoons castor (superfine) sugar

1 egg

1 teaspoon vanilla essence

110g (3 3/4 oz) fine rice flour

75g (2 1/2 oz) gluten free cornflour (cornstach)

3 tablespoons soy flour

1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda

3 tablespoons of cocoa powder

200g (7 oz) chocolate chips

Preheat the oven to 170 degrees celcius (325 fahrenheit). Line three flat baking trays with baking paper.

In a medium bowl,cream the butter and sugars. add the egg and vanilla essence and beat well.

sift the flours,bicarbonate of soda and cocoa powder three times into a bowl (or mix well with a whisk to ensure they are well combined). add to the butter mixture and beat well. Stir in the chocolate chips.

place large tablespoons of the mixture on the baking trays. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Leave to cool on the trays for 5 minutes,then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

I hope that these biscuits taste as good as they look. All the ingredients were available at my local supermarket.. cheers Kim  :)

Not so mysterious..

Hehehe the mystery object was a close-up of my mask and yes I was modelling it at the time.

Some of the ingredients in glazes are pretty toxic and the dust in dry clay can cause silicosis  so a good mask is a pretty important piece of equipment.  There is also the added advantage of being able to run around pretending to be Darth Vader.. Thanks for having a go.. cheers  Kim xxx
