Can u explain how to twist these into plaits...i dont quite understand
tinkerbell,
roll the dough into a long strip and roll, 1 hand up and the other hand down, then fold in half, and tuck the ends into the hole.

Very Good!! Mine did not came out like the ones you have in your picture. I don't know how to twist mine into plaits. I make mine bigger...,It is crunchy and a little bit chewy inside :) Ha! Ha!...but it taste good though. I will roll it thinner next time.
I have fun making this today :) Thank you for sharing the recipe. I really appreciate it.

Hi switpea (Gina)
Glad you like the plaits.
Oh, so you read about that in the Power puff section. No..I don't fall for mean bloggers. Too old for that. Thanks for your kind and warm words.

My husband loved the plait biscuits. He said..."it's pretty good". When I woke up this morning, there is only a few left in the jar! He ate a lot last night! Thank you for sharing your recipe Yocahna. Me and my husband enjoyed this very much.

Hello there. :)
I'm a very bad cook so I bought plait biscuits (Vietnam-made) from an Asian grocery store instead.
The ingredients listed are (and I quote exactly) Wheat Flour, Sugar, Soya Bean Oil, Water, Salt.
I like these because they're not overly sweet, but they can be a bit too crunchy sometimes.
