Fabulous recipe very easy and taste fantastic. I do not think it will be long before they all go. Great way to use satsumas up from Christmas that are just on the turn. Thank you for this recipe.
Gorgeous biscuits!! Dead easy to make but had a small problem cooking as there was no oven temp in the recipe! I cooked them on 180 and they took a lot longer to cook, however they are well worth the wait the only trouble is they will not make it to the biscuit tin!!! Thankyou!!
