Not a Scotch Finger Biscuit via Frozzie

[Frozzie]

ok just saw this and after twitterpated's post i clicked on 'here'.....oh so funny..ill be redirecting back to you robyn 

hanks for the conversion...love that you can put a link or idea out there and poof woola baloom you have your recipe all done for you 

biscuits look great and looks like you used a biscuit mould rather than a piping bag..very nice...going to have to remember to check out malted powdered milk next time i am at the supermarket and hope to find it there otherwise it will be cccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc lol

These look wonderful! Will have to add Malted Milk Powder to my shopping list. I guess at a pinch you could swap it out for plain milk powder, but it would lose that malted flavour.

I've copied this recipe and put the owner as 'Frozzie via Johnro'

[Frozzie]

will do CC 

and guys it really is robyns recipe thx ....i just did a search and posted a link...she did all the hard work and deserves all the credit 

[johnro]

But the entertainment is almost as great as the taste Frozzie!!!!!!!          I hope these little gems match eveyrones expectations - just be sure not to use SR flour   

[Frozzie]

haha robyn 

will be trying these as soon as i get to the shops tomorrow to see if they have malt milk drink/powder!

Made a batch of these today girls - thanks so much for the recipe & conversion, it's a winner in this house.  DH is not a great biscuit eater but commented (without prompting) after the first bite that he enjoyed it so now I will be expecting him to at least help me eat the rest. Must say he wasn't able to recognise it as tasting similar to a scotch finger but as long as he enjoyed it, I am happy with that.

I bought some Horlicks (ten bucks!) so I can make this recipe. If it doesn't taste like Scotch Fingers, what would be the best description?

[johnro]

A malted milk - only crunchy    - does that sound similar to an ad!!!!!! How about a light weight melting moment!!!!!!! Hope you enjoy them CP   

[judydawn]

I could taste a resemblance to scotch fingers but asking DH to describe a taste would be asking too much of him I'm afraid.  He either likes it or doesn't, it is too spicy or just right, it is moist enough or it is too dry , it is tasty or it is bland   Just lately he has liked everything after the first bite so they must be really special.

I was going to make these but i c ouldnt find malted milk powder at coles or woolies, can i use skim milk powder?

Thanks Hally

[Halex]

Just made these using skim milk powder, dont know what the true version tasts like but these are yumbo
Not sure where about 6 of gone ???Very confusing ???They just sort of walked out of the oven and sort of landed in to my horror stricken mouth, so germs and all i had to eat them...

Hally I too have that problem in my kitchen - but the mirror solves the puzzle of "I thought there were 3, 4, 5 left".   

[Halex]

They are truly delicious.

Robyn how did you make yours look so beautiful, my piping didnt  turn out like yours.

Mirrors, yes try not to look, i know its very distressing when you see lumps and bumps appear. The best trick is not to look or take a huge deep  breath breathe and hey the cookies dont even show.LOL

Hally I used the large piping bag that I use when making individual meringues with a large open star plastic noozle - similar to the centre 1 in this pic.
