Said 10 year old does a great job gathering everything he needs and is feeling super confident that he can do this. So mum leaves him to it. From afar Mum watches, in between ironing. Everything is going well so Mum just concentrates on her Mount Vesuvius of ironing piles. After a little while it goes very quiet in the kitchen. Then I hear StepDad walk past and an "oh I see, no that doesn't look quite right". For about 10 minutes the two of them umm and ahh and try to work out the problem. When it finally gets to the better of them Mum gets called in to diagnose the Case of the Runny Mixture. Mum simply walks over there, looks and says "how much flour did you put in the bowl", to which son responds..."3/4 of a cup, just like it says". Mum then laughs and says "hmm, you might want to take another look at the recipe"....yep sure enough it actually said 3 3/4 cups!!!
The adjustment was then made and voila, we had biscuit mix!!! The only problem was that the chocolate chips had melted due to the hot butter being poured over them without sufficient flour to protect them from the heat lol. So due to not having any more chocolate chips to add, we have ended up with chocolate biscuits intead of chocolate chip ones. Oh well, they are pretty yummy anyway!!
