We call these the fainting biscuits because my eldest daughter fainted while making them. Very yummy and we still make them all the time!
I'm glad you love the recipe, it has been in our family for many years. My belated Nanna would have been extremely happy to know that I could share it with others to enjoy!

I do a half batch and it works really well. These are fantastic and I am so glad Nanna Rita's recipe has been shared!!!
i halved the recipe and stillgot oodles of biscuits
ts is an awesome recipe, though is very sweet. Next time I think I shall leave out the raw sugar and see if it lessens the sweetness a bit.
These are fantastic and so easy!! I didnt rest them and used a bit of extra flour to roll the balls. Instead of icing I used 100s and 1000s before baking. Just enough sweet and easier to store.
