*Traditional Scottish Recipes*
 *- Broken Biscuit Cake*

*In the old days, when biscuits were sold loose, grocers sold mixed, broken biscuits at a lower price. This recipe was a good way of using them up and as a cake which requires no cooking, it can be easily made by the kids as well as experienced cooks.*

## Ingredients

- One pound plain chocolate
- One pound of butter or firm margarine
- One pound broken mixed biscuits
- Half pound chopped mixed roasted nuts
- One teaspoon vanilla a essence (extract)

## Method

Melt the butter and chocolate together and stir. Mix in the well broken biscuits, nuts and essence/extract and pour into a 10" by 15" baking tin, lined with greaseproof paper (vegetable parchment). Smooth to a level top and leave it to set. Cut into fingers (literally a finger thick).
