Today is my day off so my boyfriend and I went to our usual breakfast spot as per every week on a wednesday. Last week we thought it might be nice to try a different breakfast spot as we were getting in a bit of a rut. We went to a new cafe down the road from us that isn't vegan or even vegetarian but you can usually get something to eat at any cafe. We ordered our coffees, looked at the menu and there was absolutely nothing that was vegan or even veganisable. LAME. We drank our coffees and left, on route to our regular breakfast spot and had our usual avocado on toast with lime and green tomatoes. I will never stray again. :)
Having the afternoon off means cooking! These biscuits are so yummy and crumbly and extremely moorish. They are also super quick to throw together.
There is one thing I have to stress about the dried apricots I use. DO NOT buy those disgusting orange, full of chemicals dried apricots you get in a bag from the supermarket. They are tasteless. Buy Turkish apricots from a health food store. They are juicy and soft and so full of flavour. They are brown rather than the chemically, orange ones you can find. The taste is much better and make for a better biscuit!

1 1/2 cups self raising flour
3/4 cups brown sugar
