Never try, never know - the spread is seriously addictive ! |
I have never been a fan of
Lotus caramelized biscuit. Individually wrapped with no eye catching
wrapper, I regarded it as one of the
most uninteresting biscuit. It is soft for dipping in coffee and too small to
be a satisfying snack.
That is, until I ate it in
its spread form. Compared to peanut butter, this spread is a different ball game
altogether!
During the June break, my
niece carted from London jars of Lotus biscuit spread to be given as
gifts. The spread has many overtones and
nay, there is no lotus whatsoever in it.
I love it on crackers, toast and when I did not have enough of it, in
cakes as well. Goodness, I could have used it as frosting even!
Each glass jar weighs 500g so
I appreciate the kid’s effort to bring in those bottles. Perhaps, it is time to
consider making a trip up to the UK and see what else is in store. A holiday in the name of biscuit spread – how
about that ?
Makes a 9 inch cake.
Grease, flour 9 inch
springform pan with removable base.
Bowl A:
Mix these and set aside :
2.5 cups cake flour
2 t baking powder
1 t soda
½ t salt
Bowl B:
Whisk in this order, 1 item
at a time.
½ cup lotus
85 g butter
1 cup brown sugar. Whisk 5
minutes.
3 eggs, add one at a time.
1 cup buttermilk
Whisk A to B, in 3 portions,
low speed until just combined.
Pour the batter to prepared
tin. Bake 180C for 35 min.
That is so sweet of your niece. Me too, I have never been a fan of this biscuit. Now you got me thinking.
