Resident Heather’s vintage biscuit recipe – a winner!

If you’ve read our blog – Friendly rivalry and a vintage recipe, then you’ll know about our success at the Tenterfield Show. Bakers from both Haddington and Millrace took out prizes for their creations, including resident, Heather, for her biscuits!

She would love to share her recipe with the wider community. It’s over 100 years old and has been handed down through the family, winning many awards at previous shows.

Happy baking!
