Rickety Anne Cookies - Real Recipes from Mums

My husbands favorite biscuit! Easy to make and sure to please

Ingredients (makes 15 )

120g Margarine Lightly melted
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup sultanas ( and /or Coconut)
1/2 cup corn flakes ( lightly crushed)
3/4 Teaspoon Vanilla
1 1/2 cups self raising flour
dash milk

Method

Add sugar to lightly melted margarine Beat well
add flour and Vanilla and mix well
Add sultanas and /or coconut Mix ...
At this stage it can be a little dry, Add small amounts of milk and mix until it holds together but is not too sticky
scoop up generous teaspoons of mixture and roll in to rough balls Place on oven trays lined with baking paper
Bake in moderate (180 degree) oven until golden Approx. 10- 12 minutes

Notes

These biscuits don't spread a great deal when baking, so quite a few can fit on a tray. My grand mother used to bake these all the time, I don't know why they were called Rickety Annes ...... We called them 'Mickey Mac' biscuits because that was the name of their cat who used to sit and wait for some biscuit batter every time she made them... he loved it !

Looks and sounds like the cornflakes biscuits mum made. Will have to try this out to see if it is like them.

With some tweaking this recipe could become a bit healthier.

My mother in law would love to make these cookies. She is the best cook for sweets she always makes cakes, biscuits, baklava and pasties all perfect. It’s amazing I don’t know how she does it. I love that these cookies have sultanas and vanilla
in them, yummy.
