Baking Biscuits

Healthy Biscuits - Honey Fig Cookies

For the first time this year, I baked biscuits, very healthy cookies.  It is not my recipe, so it is good to try out some one's method.  They don't look the same with the picture, but the taste is good.  The biscuits are made out of figs, nuts and honey.  I used almond instead of pecan nuts. 
The process of making it is so easy, and it is not expensive, I think it is good for us to have one with our cuppa.

The Process

Baked Honey Fig Cookies

The biscuit is delicious, and not too sweet.  The honey and nuts did it. A batch of this baking keeps us going for a week at least,  I will try again, and maybe the biscuits will look the same with the original picture, which is roundish and flat.  Mine is puffy, dry and crisp outside but soft in the middle.   It reminds me of rock cakes.

It was fun, a fun baking day.
