Has anyone got a nice but simple recipe for these please. The ones I have found involved rolling out and cutting. Wasn't too keen on the fiddling round.

sher48, most bran biscuit recipes that I have seen do indeed involve "rolling and cutting" but here, from the former Trademe Cooks, is a couple that don't and you may like them.....

"Anything Biscuits
use any amount of condensed milk.. Place the milk in a bowl. Add some crushed cereal (weetbix, cornflakes, sultana bran, etc..), some dried fruit (sultana's, glace cherries, chopped, raisins, craisins, chopped dates etc.., some coconut, chopped nuts, etc.. anything you like. Add enough ingredients to make the mix very firm - firm enough to place spoonsful on baking paper lined trays. Bake at 180°C until golden and cool on the paper. This makes lovely caramelly/chewy bikkies that taste wonderful.. posted by juliewn"

"Bran & Apricot Cookies
70g Allbran;1 cup s.r flour;90g coconut;1/2 cup brown sugar,firmly packed;1/2 cup chopped glace apricots;125g butter,melted;1 egg,lightly beaten. Combine allbran,sifted flour,coconut,sugar and apricots in a bowl,stir in butter and egg. Place level tbsp of mix about 5cm apart on greased oven trays.Bake in mod hot oven(210-230c) about 10 mins or until lightly browned. Cool on trays (makes about 25),

You're welcome to try this recipe. It makes a big batch, so you can always freeze some. Mine too has quite alot of sugar, but they are yummy!

Bran Biscuits
500gr butter
3 cups flour
2 cups sugar
2 cups bran
2 eggs
1 cup coconut
1 tsp baking soda dissolved in 1-2 tabs boiling water & pinch of salt. Soften butter cream with sugar. Add eggs beat. Add dry ingredients plus b.s and water. Roll into 3-4 logs and refrigerate till firm. Slice thinly and bake at 180°C for about 10 mins. Nice buttered.

My Mum just rolled them out straight onto the greased baking tray and marked into squares and baked. Easy to cut when hot from the oven.

I roll mine into a log and then just cut off slices. I find it easier than rolling and cutting. I do this also with shortbread only make it a square 'log'.

Think this thread has run it's course, nothing added for the last three years so why bother to bump it.
