Hi, I have been trying to make egg and biscuit recipe,Kaz's which says 2 kg s.r. flour but for the life of me I can't incorporate that much into the dough about 1 kg is in, I haven't cooked it yet, but don't know if I have done something wrong can anyone advise!! Meanwhile I'll try to cook it to see result I get. Hope I'm on right forum for this. many thanks Robyn

Homemade Egg and Biscuit

 

2 ounces cornflour

1 pinch salt

2 tablespoons peanut oil

2 kilos self raising flour

6 eggs, beaten

4 fluid ounces water

 

Mix all ingredients into a firm dough, roll out to fit a flat baking tray.

Spray tray lightly with safe cooking oil spray.

 

Cook in a moderate oven until pale brown.

 

Allow to cool and than crush the cooked mixture in a blender until crumbled.

 

Store in a airtight container and feed to birds as required.

 

 

I have never made this recipe myself so cannot help, have you tried smaller quantities processed in a food processor ?

Hi Kaz thanks for reply, used above recipe, am making it by hand as per usual pastry methods. I only got about 1 kg into dough. Have just got first lot out of oven. Looks like a cake type pastry, smells okay . Will have to wait now and see if it blends up okay. then taste test it to birds. Thought I'd get some ready for when birds start to breed. Do they only need it then or should they have some all the time? thank's again Robyn

Birds should have a wide variety of foods all the time. I dont really suscribe to just giving certain foods for or prior to breeding. My birds get everything all the time

Thanks Kaz, I've been giving mine the usual, seed, greens etc but haven't tried the egg and biscuit so will see how they go with it as well, regards Robyn

Further to yesterday,blended up biscuits to a coarse breadcrumb consistency. Looks very similar to what I have seen in pet shop now.

Wondered if maybe there was a mistake in ingredients? It was 2 0z cornflour then went 2kg s.r. flour. Thought maybe it should have been 2 lb not kg.? That was amount of flour I got into mix. Strange that recipe would be part imperial, part metric measure. Any thought's on this if anyone else has tried recipe.

Sounds like a misprint...since it worked for you do you want to alter the ingredient info in that topic for us ?

Hi Kaz, Would'nt know how at this stage but would prefer if somebody else had tried it also. Robyn

Thank's Elly had checked this out but recipe didn't seem to work, modified it and instead of 2kg s.r. flour I had to reduce it to 2lb. That seems to work but I would like others who have tried it to post.Thank's Robyn
