Mother Taylor Biscuits
Growing up in a family of 13, Mum used to make these biscuits for the "kids" as they were quick and easy and were a favourite with us all. Here I am some forty years later and still making tem for my family!!

Ingredients
- 3 . 5 cups of flour
- 1 teaspoon bicarbonate soda
- 240g butter
- 1 . 75 cups dark brown sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla essence.
- 1 table spoon coffee
- 2 . 5 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 egg beaten
Directions
- Melt butter in a largish pan. When melted add the dark brown sugar
- mix in the cinnamon. vanilla essence, coffee, salt and beaten egg.
- Add the sieved flour and bicarbonate soda and mix in.
- Once mixed, may have to use your hands as it gets quite tough with a wooden spoon, mould it into a "brick" shape, I use a baking deep dish that I have greased.
- Place in the fridge for two hours. After two hours remove from fridge and slice into very thin biscuit shapes. I normally cut the "brick" into two pieces and then cut the thin biscuits.
- Place on a greased baking tray and bake each batch on a heat of 160C for a period of ten minutes. Remove and place on a flat tray to cool and repeat with the next batch until all done. Serve cold, either on their own o with a slither of butter on them!
Tip
The great thing about these biscuits is they last a good long time and are awesome with afternoon tea!!
