Recipe is created forTM 5
If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

Comments
Great flavour but like others have said they were dry. Next time ill reduce flour and increase butter. Thanks
Love the flavour. Reminiscent of the childhood store bought variety. Dough was very manageable, but I didn't succeed in the scroll look.
. Thanks for the recipe. Family loved them also.
I'm not sure what I did wrong with these but the dough was so dry and thick I was unable to roll it out. I ended up shaping it into a couple of logs and slicing thin rounds to bake. My husband says the biscuits are ok with icing on them, but I'm not a fan I'm afraid. A shame, because I absolutely loved the coffee scroll biscuits I used to be able to buy at the supermarket. I followed the recipe exactly too.

I didn't get the scroll look but they definitely have the same flavour as the store bought ones I remember. Thanks for the recipe
I made these for my grandma and my family and everyone really liked them. They are a little dry without icing but prefect with it
Made these last night and they are fantastic. Kids loved them!
Awesome. Think next time I'll add a little more butter. But perfect other wise.
