Michael Biscuits

For sraun who asked.

This is a family recipe insomuch as my mother got it from a magazine and my brother adopted it (he would've been at primary school then, probably just) as the thing he could bake. None of us actually remember its real name so in our house it will always be known as Michael Biscuits.

Everything in metric because I can't be bothered doing imperial conversions, especially since I don't use them.

Michael Biscuits

150g butter
3/4 c brown sugar
1 Tbsp cocoa
1 1/2 c flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 c coconut
1/2 c sultanas

Combine butter, brown sugar and cocoa in a microwave proof bowl and cook on high for 1 1/2 minutes. Sift flour and baking powder and add to fudge mixture. Stir. Add coconut and sultanas. Stir well. Spread mixture in 18 x 22 microwave proof slice dish. Press firmly (a dessert spoon is good for this). It should be about 1 - 2 cm thick. Elevate and cook on high for 2 minutes. Ice when cold.

We always used chocolate glace icing and sliced it when the icing was set.

Enjoy!

Hmmm. I should get a cooking icon.
