Why buy when you can bake at home!

My entire family loves Arnotts Full 'O Fruit Slices and they are not that cheap when you have to buy several packets and to me they seemed rather simple and so I thought it would be really easy to find a recipe and make it at home.

Well finding a recipe that seemed to match wasn't that easy, some looked like big slices others were like cakes, nothing that even remotely looked like it would turn out the biscuit I wanted. Well I don't give up that easy and found a recipe on a playgroup forum and gave it a go:

This is the Arnotts version:

My version: (yet to be cut up)

Although I haven't tasted it yet, it smells great but it feels slightly crumbly and not as hard as the biscuit should be, but it's similar enough, easy peasy and quick too.

During the baking time I kept searching for other recipes and found this one, it sounds like it may be the one, it's called a Fly Cemetery which doesn't sound appealing at all, but I will give it a go next time.

Now The Man said that my Napolitains didn't have enough Jam in them last time, so I made some more adding heaps of jam and they looked just awful - why do I listen to that man!

These are my son's favorite homemade biscuits, they are requested more then anything else I bake. The recipe was from the book "Honey Biscuits":

I tried to pipe them rather blob them as normal (you are meant to roll them into balls and then into cinnamon sugar - but I'm lazy, I just sprinkle on top) but my piping bag broke, so blob away:

Umm, I forgot them in the oven, they are not meant to be that golden, but they still taste great!
