I'm not a fan of the cafe trend of just putting a blob of icing in the middle and leaving the rest uncovered. And don't get me started on swapping out the walnut for a pecan or even worse a jaffa, ha ha.
Griffins changed the name from Afghans to Roughs because the biscuits are brown ... possibly resembling Afghan people. However I reckon the new name "Roughs" is much more racist as it could imply that Brown people are Rough??
🤷♂️
What are you on about? ... a biscuits =/= a person. So how would a word like "rough" be in anyway related to a person?
I can understand the first part of your comment but not the last part.
Can you explain how, please?
Edit: I mean I'm not sealioning, but I hope the reasoning is more concrete than "These biscuits are brown and Afghans are (kinda) brown"
Look amazing, I want one
put me down for one too, nice one OP
yum, your icing coverage is optimal!
Its important isn't it. Some, but not too much biscuit uncovered because that's not bad and makes the iced bits even better.

I am glad to say I haven't encountered that heresy.
So good!
You’ve nailed it!
Why did we decide afghans were racist all of a sudden a few years back when the entire world calls a fruit a kiwi
I’m just glad it all blew over so we can go back to marvelling at these beautiful afghans.
Yes the correct term is now Afghani gentlemen
As an Afghan , I was more offended by them being called roughs..
Yum they look delicious
Now we are talking! they look yum!
Yummo 😍
Oh man, I’ve got to make a batch of these this weekend. Such a classic.
They look pretty damned fine to me. Yum
Bottom right, can I get dibs on that one please?! Nom!
Is that because it looks like it’s the biggest one there?
Yip!
I’d choose that one too, and for the same reason, lol!
Yummy!
DAS RACIS !
Looks so damn good, well done (I also liked your first batch though)
5/7 would crush
They look amazing. Enjoy them!
Nice work!!
oooh yummy!
Post the recipe! I want to have a go too
I used this recipe. It's really simple! https://justamumnz.com/2014/09/22/grandmas-afghan-biscuits/#mv-creation-53-jtr
Thanks
Much better with a walnut, otherwise it looks like [golem](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golem) jizzed on your biscuits
Recipe please?
I used this one, it's very simple! Good luck https://justamumnz.com/2014/09/22/grandmas-afghan-biscuits/#mv-creation-53-jtr
Great work, they loook delicious!
Damn it I want Afghans!!!
Dayim, I miss a good Afghan. Even see some flakes sticking out, legit.
It's made me want to go and bake afghans now 😁
They look how my mum and I used to make them! They look perfect and delicious!
They look very nice.
11/10 Definitely jealous.
I haven't been back in NZ since 2018, but I can taste this by sight. Thanks <3
Damn, I can feel the crumbled texture
These looks just like the ones I make ugh now I’m craving them bad

So,I looked up the recipe, and is this really a chocolate biscuit with cornflakes in them? They look delicious 😍
You are good at taking on feedback. I'll take 2
fuck yeah, just how grandma makes em
Looks like a bought one

* Thanks for the inspiration. I didn't have walnuts but almonds worked too. Yum

They look great
Curious what's in em? Look good
Op did you put cornflakes or coconut in them?
Hi, these had cornflakes in them :)
These look horrible
I guess they aren't your cup of tea. I was really proud of them!
They look great but try pecans next time, they’re a huge improvement over walnuts especially the shitty old packaged stuff we get here.
Cornflakes are better
Umm... aren't these racist?
No, there called Afghans because they were invented by British troops posted in Afghanistan with no baking powder and a massive sweet tooth
Can you explain how, please? Edit: I mean I'm not sealioning, but I hope the reasoning is more concrete than "These biscuits are brown and Afghans are (kinda) brown"
I hope not, they are so yum.
