I loved the banana bread recipe on this site. I wondered about the quantity of these biscuits …and thought yours would have to share them or make a smaller quantity. At least they can be frozen.
I think its encouraging your amount and quantity that you have put into this project.I started a site based on vegetarian things and recipes. Yours is vast I will keep the link and use the banana bread recipe ..i cannot eat sugar too much but will just use the fruit that will have enough sugar in it for me.
These savory biscuits are a great alternative to sweet treats.
Thanks for stopping by Anthea, and yes you can leave out the sugar on any of the recipes here, or even substitute with an artificial alternative.
Hello there! This is an interesting recipe. I always imagine biscuits of this shape (in the beginning of your post) to be sweet and buttery. I have a hard time imagining what a savory flavored one would taste like. I am curious about what these actually taste like though, so I might try making this later in the week. The ingredients you listed sound like it could be a good combination. Thanks for creating this!
If you like cheesy flavoured snacks, then you will enjoy these savory biscuits.
Nice, it’s another snack that you can prepare ahead of time and when you’ve got company you have something to offer!
5 Varieties also good in a sense as everyone likes different things, and the variety makes sure that everyone is happy.
I am going to try them myself!
Let me know if they turn out well Jocelyn. Be careful as they are very moreish and you could end up eating them all before your friends even see them.
