This would also put a stop to companies buying a company/product to remove the competition! This works, though I had to add two extra slooshes of milk to make the dough come together, so when I add this to my recipe book, I shall add possibly up to 150ml milk, but will try 125 ml first. The biscuits look good, and I am pleased with my effort. Thank you for taking the time to put this very necessary recipe up.
