Lovely crispy, easy to make biscuits. I will definitely make them again. For flavouring I added Orange Extract. I also shaped the teaspoon of mixture inside a small round cookie cutter to achieve a good shape. Once I removed the cookie cutter I was able so smooth the top of each cookie with the back of a teaspoon. ( I am normally impatient to get things done but I took my time to shape these and it paid off). Thank you.

These are fab. So easy to make and delicious. We served them with home made Raspberry Syllabub. The whole family want the recipe now.

I will definitely be making these again. So simple to make. Very light and crispy/crunchy, just the way a biscuit should be.

Really excellent texture. Crisp and not too sweet. Very easy to make. Forgot the second batch were in the oven so didn’t take them out till oven cooled. They were crunchy rather than chewy but still very good. Waited till biscuits were cold before removing from non stick parchment and they didn’t stick

My son's favourite biscuits, no-nonsense and super crunchy! Good job they're so easy to make. I freeze them in batches too and they taste just as good and just as crunchy when defrosted.

Mine stuck to my parchment :( Looks good otherwise.

I made these using rice flour which is a bit less absorbant than tapioca. I used the right amount of oil but less water. I added some vanilla essense and also some cranberries. They really spread out so need plenty of space, but tasted lovely. Mine cooked quicker than the recipe indicated as well. They need a few minutes to harden up on the tray after cooking. I was after something to make quickly and they fit the bill!

They worked fine for me but I think the recipe would be improved by adding a pinch of salt and maybe a few drops of almond extract.

I am not sure how the previous reviewer managed, but following the recipe resulted in a thick batter which could not have been spooned into separate biscuits. So I added the same amount of dried ingredients again and remixed and the result was ok. I hope someone at DF will check the recipe as posted - I'd use 2T water+2T oil, no more.
