For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl. -

These turned out perfectly following the recipe exactly - didn't quite make 25 though, maybe I did them too big! Got 20 - great way to use up crumby cornflakes at the bottom of the container
Delicious. Only word of advice for others though...
Delicious. Only word of advice for others though is that they don't really change shape in the oven so if you prefer flatter biscuits then flatten more before cooking
These are so yummy, thank you! Quick and easy.
