Yesterday I baked, haven't done that for a while, (weeks and weeks actually). The weather has been wet and damp flour isn't conducive to good baking. I made Grandma's chocolate slice and Peanut Butter Crinkles. The Crinkles are always a favourite, and so easy to make especially when you are in a hurry or only have about half an hour to spare.
This afternoon, I took some out to my partner who is tinkering in the backyard with his "toys" and nearly all the plate was finished before I could say "Jack Robinson!" My son complained that the Choc slice was a bit too sweet and chocolatey, but he still finished the whole piece...so they can't be too bad.
I used a different peanut butter brand when I baked these and I noticed they were not as "short" and a bit harder to bite into. I usually use 'Homebrand ' Crunchy - it has no extra added sugar, where the brand I used yesterday has added sugar. That could have been why the texture was not as short and crumbly.
The recipe is from my Mum's cookbook. very easy to make and even easier to eat.
