Time to reveal another of my secret ‘Never Fail’ recipes. Well, if I’m totally honest I actually found this on the net myself a few years back – but it’s far to good not to pass on to you. Condense Milk Biscuits. Easy and very very yummy. I only wish I could remember where I found it so I can give credit. If it was you – “thank-you”.
- Little hands at work – great holiday fun.
INGREDIENTS
1 500g tub of margarine or butter
1 cup of sugar
1 tin of condensed milk
5 cups of SR flour
METHOD
Cream margarine and sugar together
Add tin of condensed milk and mix well
Add flour a cup at a time and mix well
Roll into balls and cook in for 12 minutes at 180c.
- 100s and 1000s biscuits = happy kids.
That’s it. When I first discovered this recipe I didn’t even have a mixer so mixed it all by hand – and it worked fabulously. It makes a large batch – perfect for school holidays. Alternatively the mixture freezes well. Just roll it up into a sausage shape and wrap in cling wrap. Then it’s ready for the next time you want to bake biscuits. Great for when kids come over and you need an instant snack. (Best not to add anything to the basic mixture for freezing.)

The great thing about this little gem of a recipe is the unlimited ways you can dress it up. A big favourite with the little pink people at my house is 100s of 1000s. I’m sure I’m not alone in having kids who love those!
Sultana and cornflakes
For a slightly more adult version mix in sultana’s and press the balls into cornflakes before putting them on the tray. Chopped up glazed cherries and chocolate chips is also adorable. Really the options are endless. A friend was visiting when we cooked this batch and she is going to try them with muesli. Just be warned these little biscuits are very yummy and if you make up the entire batch at once you’ll have rather a few to deal with. I tend to make them as larger cookies – but you could easily make the smaller and have even more!

My 5 year old grandson will have such fun making these..he loves to make things on his own….
‘Don’t help me nanna!’
Hey these cookies look divine!!.. Was just wondering are they crumbly? or are they chewy? because I didn’t want to make a whole lot and not like them!! haha
How hand that I should have a spare tin (or four) of condensed milk. Recipe looks great, thanks for sharing
yummo, i must try this, your cookies looks delicious!
Thanks for sharing.
Me ‘N my Monkeys recently posted..Guest Post – Cupcakes with Icing
Hope you and the monkeys love them as much as me and the pinks do!!
Oh, I do love that you have shared this awesome recipe. An older friend gave this exact same recipe to me a few years back, and I use it ALOT! So far with choc chips, coconut, whitechoc/macadamias, sultanas, glaced cherries (for xmas)… the possibilities are endless. But I’m loving the 100s and 1000s. Too cute!

It’s such a great mixture!! We use it a lot around here. White chocolate and macadamia – be trying that for the grown ups. Sounds just to yummy!!
That does sound easy! I think my children will thank you!
Hope so Shelly. I think I need to pop over and steal your url too. I thought you were already on my blog roll but maybe not??!!
Oh these look so delicious!!
Yum! they sound great and perfect for making with the little ones! x
They are a winner with my girls….I just have to limit myself to one per day
I love these… i like them with a packet of chopped glace cherries mixed through and baked, choc chips or choc chip and some peppermint essence!
Although the basic sultana is fantastic too i’ll have to try them with some other combinations too!
I know – so simple and so great. Where did you hear about them – a net find like me?
From an online friend, i think she found the recipe online and shared on a forum we were both part of.
This is my next project!!!
Let me know how they go. Need to pop over and steal your url for my blog roll too!!
Will do, I’m buying ingredients tomorrow, also buying for the homemade ice cream I’m making, got the recipe from Lucy
Hey, what plugin are you using for the reply? Is it Reply Me?
Yes – it’s reply me. Highly recommend it. Hmmmm- homemade ice cream sounds good too!! Enjoy all the cooking. I have just put pumpkin soup on the stove. Not ice-cream but still yummy!!
Ok. This is a winner for me! I am going to make this soon. Thank you for sharing!
Hope you enjoy them us much as we have – very yummy!!
I am so trying these – thank you!
My pleasure Lucy :O)
Ella and I cook a batch of biscuits every week, so I’ll be keen to try these ones, Caz. They look delish. And I love how you can adapt them.
Speaking of condensed milk, I have a friend who puts condensed milk on her Rice Bubbles for breakfast!!
I have found these perfect for making with the girls. So easy and great for helping hands. Mind you little pink (3) probably eats more mixture than helps – but I guess that’s part of the fun at that age
That is a ripper recipe! Very kid friendly. I will have to experiment with a gluten free version so I can eat them too!

Great idea Lee. How do you do that though?? Be interested to hear how you go.
I’ll be trying those for sure. One whole tub of butter/marg??? Wow but worth it. They look like a great idea for selling at cake stalls too
Now to keep that hubby of mine away from the condensed milk tin.hmmmmmmm. 
Thanks
E.
It is a lot of butter hey – but it does make up a big batch. I have that trouble with the kids and the condensed milk:)
think I’ll go check the cupboard for a tin of condensed milk, thanks for sharing!
Thanks Cate – I don’t think you’ll regret it
