Whole wheat malt biscuits/cookies


Last week I brought a jar of Malt extract to make a sourdough starter.  got to thinking that some malt biscuits, or cookies for the Americans would be nice. I couldn't find a suitable recipe in my cook book collection, so I had a look online, but couldn't fnd a recipe there that I like either, well I liked them but it used malt powder not extract, I could have substituted but I decided that I would make my own recipe up, so here it is.



250 g butter
1/4 cup white sugar
1/4 cup golden syrup
1/2 cup malt extract
1/4 cup yoghurt
1 egg
3 cups wholemeal flour (I use freshly ground)
1/2 tsp baking powder

Beat the butter add the sugar and syrups, then add yoghurt and egg, lastly add flour and baking powder. Cover bowl and chill for at least 1/2 hour, but they are better if left over night. Place spoon fulls on a lined bakng tray and bake in mod oven for about 15 mins.

The photos didn't turn out quite as good as I had hoped. But the biscuits didn't last long enough for me to take any more photos.
