Shara Burger | From The Kitchen
Whether you are a dunker or a dry biscuit lover, almost everyone enjoys some sort of cookie with their cup of tea.
These delicious and super easy biscuits are a firm favourite with all our Tanda Tula guests. Chef Ryan serves these delights under the disguise of a “healthy” alternative, insisting that oats, nuts and cinnamon are extremely good for you! We know better than to argue with him, so fully encourage you to all reach for a second (or third!) biscuit after making your first batch. Enjoy!
