BISCUITS FOR THE MASSES

 500gm Nuttelex (or butter if able)
1 1/4 cups caster sugar
400g can condensed milk
5 cups barley flour (wheat flour if able)
5 teaspoon baking powder
3 x 100gm blocks carob (broken up in blender)
(if can find Carob buttons without added flavour use instead)
1. Preheat oven to 180 C. Cover oven tray with grease proof paper and also grease with Nuttelex (or butter).
2. Use an electric mixer and beat Nuttelex, sugar and condensed milk until light and creamy.
3. Add flour, baking powder and carob. Mix until well combined.
4. Roll and flatten with fork onto oven trays. Bake 14-16 minutes.
I know this recipe won't work for everyone as we all have different reaction's but I hope it might be of help. If you are able to eat butter, chocolate and wheat the recipe does taste  even better, but we have found it isn't too bad this way either.

 BLONDIES

1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp. vanilla extract (essence)
1 cup plus 2 Tbsp. self-raising flour

 1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F (180 deg. C). Line an 8-in. (20 cm.) square
baking pan with foil, letting ends extend above pan on 2 sides. Coat foil
with nonstick canola oil spray.
2. Melt butter in a medium saucepan. Stir in brown sugar and stir over
medium heat 1 minute or until mixture bubbles. Remove from heat; let cool
20 minutes or until lukewarm. Stir in egg and vanilla, then S. R. flour
until blended.
3. Spread in prepared pan. Bake 20 to 22 minutes until a wooden pick
inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack.
4. Lift foil by ends onto cutting board. Cut into 16 squares.

 [This is an American recipe; I converted pan measurement and degrees to
metric. I use both American and Australian cup measures, and the difference
isn't much. However, an Australian tablespoon equals 4 teaspoons, and an
American tablespoon equals 3 teaspoons.]
