Delicious Home made, Royal Creams

Vimala Naidoo has contributed another delicious recipe for Royal Creams, a favorite of mine, since I was a child. (It always got finished too quickly.)

On every trip to South Africa, I enjoy eating these biscuits.I have also brought them back to the USA. So I was delighted to try Vimala's recipe for Royal Creams.

I halved the ingredients and I was so pleased with the results. It tastes just like the South African Royal Creams!!! I still have to perfect the shape, but the taste is really, really good. You will find more about Vimala and her other recipe at, Coconut Biscuits
