Also, is there a substitute if I cannot find it on this Carribean Island I live on......grocery choices are limited....Hey Nix, Rice flour is simply finely milled white rice! It gives the shortbread a lighter (crumbly?) texture. If you don't have it / not too fussed then you can increase the plain flour accordingly. Judging by all the yummy recipes being posted at the moment it looks like we're all in for a seriously weighty weekend!okay that was brilliant "Exfats" u have me in stitches!!! That recipe sounds like a serious winner!How's this one for a Biggest Loser Challange - You each have to pack your own container, winner gets all her (or his) clothes ironed.Biggest Loser Temptation - a plate of KoeksustersBiggest Loser Warehouse Choice - a week of Boerewors or Biltong?

AndreaL Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 I am so happy you posted the recipe, my Mum used to make this when we were small and I know Polly wanted the recipe but my Mum is one of those people who doesn't use recipes so there would be no point asking!I am still asking for the recipe for her home made soup.
