Biscuits and bowls

I found four dainty Grindley Peach Petalware bowls in a charity shop for £3 recently. To say I was excited was an understatement. As much as I love all my green, blue and yellow utility china I don't have much pink. The only reason I didn't blog about them sooner was because I couldn't decide how to display them. After all, I'm not particularly sure what their function is. Mini dessert bowl perhaps? It was only when I had a sudden craving for biscuits on Thursday that I decided they should be biscuits bowls.


I made chocolate chip cookies/biscuits and more oaty biscuits. The latter went so hard this time that they could chip teeth! Despite this they were finished first. Perhaps people enjoyed the challenge of eating them?



I really enjoyed making biscuits for a change and not too many got stuck together, hurray!


The chocolate chip cookie recipe is from my Mary Berry Baking Bible (again!) but I'm starting to feel guilty about the amount of recipes I'm sharing from her book so I'm going to urge you all to buy it if you don't already own it. I cannot recommend it enough.

  5. I agree, the pink is lovely. Love the idea of biscuit bowls...does the bowl make them an acceptable replacement for cereal in the morning?
