Sao biscuits are tasteless aren’t they.

I was once told that SAO stood for SALVATION ARMY OFFICER.

 

[Ezzy]

would Salada biscuits be suitable with a simple sugar glaze brushed on them ?

Aren't Salada biscuits sprinkled with salt?

No they are thin and not the same texture, the best thing with the lattice biscuits they were like a wafer. Also they were slightly sweet whereas salada biscuits are salty

That's what I'm going to do , but basically it will end up like the normal vanilla slice. The idea of using the lattice biscuits is that there is basically no cooking and so much easier with the lattice. I wished they would just bring them back
