How do you feel about Dom's garlic sauce/dip? Most people I know seem to rave about it but it's just overly sweet imo.

Finally got round to making flax seed crackers as discussed with Glaucus earlier in the thread. I used half milled and half whole flax seed and baked at 170 (fan) for 30 mins. Turned out fairly well, although I'll try rolling it out a tad thinner next time and adding a bit of sea salt.
Nice with a bit of Stilton

Do they taste like flapjacks as much as they look like them?
They taste absolutely nothing like flapjacks. The only ingredients are milled flax seed, whole flax seed and water.
I don't mind it. I prefer the honey mustard sauce though.
wow they held together with just water ?
i usually put in some olive oil, using variant of below recipe ... with a quick blitz of tougher seeds.
They held together surprisingly well. I wouldn't want to chuck them about, mind you - they're a bit fragile but perfectly usable.
Your oatcake recipe looks good but I'm trying to cut my carb intake to help control my blood glucose (type 2 diabetes). The flax seed crackers are tasty and nutritious with a negligible amount of carbs.
PS: Just had some more with the last of the Stilton and a glass of Graham's Crusted Port - very nice. Definitely need to roll them a bit thinner next time as some of the thicker bits are a tad chewy. I wouldn't like to bake them any longer as the outside bits were just short of burned. If I wasn't going away tomorrow, I'd whack them in the dehydrator for a few hours to see if they'd crisp up a bit more.

Any chance of a recipe if you don't mind, or link?

Thanks
It's mostly this recipe -
http://allrecipes.co.uk/recipe/4807/best-big--fat--chewy-chocolate-chip-cookies.aspx with a few tweaks.
I use self raising flour rather than plain flour and bicarbonate of soda. Instead of 200g of brown sugar and 100g of caster sugar, I use 200g of caster sugar with 100g of drinking chocolate. For the chocolate chips, I break up a Chocolate Orange into small chunks.
Ohh, and don't listen to the cooking time! I've found 8 minutes at most is usually fine then leave them on the side on the tray for a couple of minutes to finish off by themselves.
Undercooking is key otherwise they end up too crunchy!

Mmmmm they look good.

Wife's been unicorning it up lately, had a lot of unicorn orders, so upped her game and got some more stuff done.
I've been doing her site for her, when I get a minute. She loves making, but it's annoying bugging her about putting content up online.

The three looping blocks of text over images at the top of the front page are hard to read. Not enough contrast. Even with my glasses on.
