Afghans

It's been a busy few weeks so I haven't posted for a while. Sorry! There never seems to be enough time in the day to do everything you want. Today for example I had to make something for my daughter's International Day at school. "Bring in a dish to share from your home country". My husband said to take Spotted Dick, to which I replied "no way!". I can think of many classic baking treats from New Zealand such as Anzac Biscuits, Lamingtons, Pavlova, Louise Slice, Ginger Crunch but I went for Afghan Biscuits. A few years ago I was given Ladies, A Plate which focuses on New Zealand baking recipes. This is the first thing I've tried from the book although there are definitely more I would like to make.

The Afghans were easy to make however my only advice was that I made them twice the size the recipe said ie. a tablespoon instead of a teaspoon so ended up with half the amount (that sounds obvious doesn't it!) For the recipe, click here.

Hope you all have a great weekend!
