The results of the Guinea Pig taste test

No I don't mean I have been tasting guinea pigs! Having made several batches of the jammy dodger esque biscuits with either semolina or ground almonds, I hit work and family with the two recipes. Obviously this also meant I had to forcefeed people a minimum of 2 biscuits, all part of my masterplan!!
Personally I prefer the recipe containing ground almonds. There is not muich difference between the two in taste but I was not so keen on the texture of the semolina recipe as it was quite 'bitty'. I was quite surprised to discover that opinion was split on the recipes. Most people only noted a difference on texture but quite a few preferred the semolina recipe as it was 'a bit different'. However, the ground almond recipe was ultimately the most successful. Now on to experimenting with thickness of the dough and how much vanilla essence to add.
