Biscuits are great for tea or for a pick-me-up. However, commercial based biscuits are full of sugar and other agents, stabilizers you cannot control. Making them at home, ensures you know what goes in your biscuits. This makes it an easy choice when offering to kids.

Generally cookies are all plain flour ones with no nutrition. This is a healthier version. We use whole meal flour, oats, rice flour, flax seeds. Adding this reduces plain flour content in the biscuit yet remains crisp. If you like you may dust it with some powdered sugar. You can also make this at home for any high tea and kids' bento box meals.
