Recipe is created forTM 6
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. -

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!

These turned out perfectly following the recipe exactly - didn't quite make 25 though, maybe I did them too big! Got 20 - great way to use up crumby cornflakes at the bottom of the container
Delicious. Only word of advice for others though is that they don't really change shape in the oven so if you prefer flatter biscuits then flatten more before cooking
These are so yummy, thank you! Quick and easy.
I found the mixture to be too dry to roll into balls and ended up having to add another 100 grams butter to get the right consistency before baking.
Yum yum yum my family could not get enough of these
Everyone loved them especially the New Zealanders.
Easy to make. Kids loved them and they froze well
A bit messy to make but turned out good. Loved the flavour & would make them again.
So yummy and easy! I ate almost all of them before our guests even arrived :o
Fantastic TIP, I'll remember that one!
