Ovaltine Biscuits
In the milk flavoring isle of the supermarket I noticed a product that reminded me of my childhood, that I had actually forgotten still existed.
As a primary schooler I do remember getting a packet of Ovaltines in my lunchbox as a treat, however since then have not come across this malt product. Seeing this product and recalling the flavor made my decide I had to bake with this product as a feature ingredient.
So I made an Ovaltine cake, how ever I was not happy with the end result as the Ovaltine made the cake too dense and quite flat.
As a secondary trial with the ingredient I attempted Ovaltine icing, this was good but I wanted to make something more robust.
Therefore as a third attempt I decided to make biscuits. As the Ovaltine made the cake too dense in texture I though the Ovaltine would make the biscuits nice and chewy (like Anzac biscuits). Finally success and yes they are deliciously chewy with a lovely Ovaltine malt taste!
