I haven't come across malt extract in my search for good sugar alternatives, but have just been having a bit of a read. I see it has plenty of vitamins and minerals, and is some form of glucose, not sucrose, so it looks good..Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13801159276016420239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1093256709696565732.post-63801704861305434352013-01-20T17:29:52.672+13:002013-01-20T17:29:52.672+13:00Oooh good thinking on these batman!

They turned out way too sweet, but the texture was better than most of my glucose biscuits turnout. Less cakey, heading toward chewy! I'm going try again one-day and I'll let u know how they go.

I hope you enjoyed your bikkies.<br />Yes I always use real butter for everything! Nothing else crosses my threshold I'm afraid. And I'm sure it would make a difference in baking. You have opened a HUGE can of worms with your butter-alternative request, which I have been thinking for a while of writing about. It is a surprising one too. Give me some time, but watch this space.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13801159276016420239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1093256709696565732.post-81271472949568175842012-10-17T01:45:44.778+13:002012-10-17T01:45:44.778+13:00I have been having cravings about chocolate chip b...I have been having cravings about chocolate chip biscuits for days now... I am holding you partially responsible! I was going to try your recipe, until I realised I have no condensed milk, and don't feel like buying some for the sake of 3 tbsp, so I'm trialling a different recipe instead (still with standard sugar, for the time being). <br />On the subject of biscuits going cakey, I always find that happens when I use baking margarine rather than full-fat butter, so biscuits are now the only time I stick with the fully monty. Do you use 'proper' butter for these? When you've finished your experiments with sugar replacements, maybe you could do a series looking at butter-alternatives...?!

Though I am currently making alot of diary free baking as my sister has cut out diary for a eczema baby - thats my own mission at the mo as I usually use a 'normal' recipe and just change it.
