      We modified this recipe a bit but still yummy and kids will eat. We switched the gluten free flour for regular flour. We used 60g of regular butter + 65g of greek yoghurt instead of the reduced fat spread. We used 2 Tbsp chia seeds because we didn’t have flax seeds and despite all these changes we made some yummy biscuits that were a good size.
