Peanut Butter Biscuits

These Peanut Butter Biscuits have been on my to-try list for ages. The recipe is in the AWW’s Biscuits and Slices mini cookbook, which is one of the earliest mini cookbooks they put out. My copy was printed in 2000, wow, how time flies…
They were so simple to make and tasted delicious, no flour was used and only three ingredients which can be mixed just by using a wooden spoon. The only change I made was to reduce the sugar from 1 cup to just 3/4 cup. Luckily I did, as they were already quite sweet enough with just 3/4 cup of sugar.

Makes approx. 24 biscuits (about 5-6cm size each)

[Ingredients]
260g (1 cup) smooth peanut butter
170g (3/4 cup) caster sugar
1 egg
