Ahhh, These Low Cholesterol biscuits.
I made these with a whole lotta love. My Poopah was told to eat a more low-cholesterol diet. So he didn’t have to miss out when he comes over to my house on a Friday night – with his sticky blue bag of veg and his freshly baked challah bread, I made some Poopah friendly treats.
Guess what he said
As he sat drinking his hot chocolate (which I make with the Nespresso milk frother so it’s most profesh! Chocolate sprinkles and all) I said “I’ve made these for you” He said “No thanks”.
My mum just looked at him. I must have looked crestfallen. I’d made them especially. But that’s my dad. Just didn’t fancy them. I suspect he would have preferred some butter laden treat that I would usually share like the buttery melt in your mouth lemon biscuits but they are not allowed.
Of course all was not lost. As well as being a great low Cholesterol snack they are also Vegan so even easier to share – which I did… kind of. They are tasty after all!
enjoy!
