For the liquid you can either use 1/2 cup of milk and 1/4 cup of wine, just milk for children, or if you want to make it parve, water or water and wine. With the essences you can just use vanilla if you don't want any alcohol for children again.

For the biscuits i usually use digestives - i think they are called graham crackers in the u.s but i could be wrong. You can put them in a sealed bag and pound into crumbs or put in a food processor but don't grind them too fine and leave some larger chunks of biscuit. Personally I love to pound - great stress reliever but for achy arms use processor.

Mix everything together, the consistency should be semi solid (not complete liquid) , if it's too liquidy crush a few more biscuits in, or if in doubt as you probably won't be able to tell the first time.

Get two large pieces of grease proof paper. Put half the mixture in one piece of paper, spreading it in a rectangular shape Make sure you leave a bit of paper to cover the ends and roll up the mixture in paper so it should be squashed cylinder shaped or if your food at rolling maybe it will cylinder shaped. Then cover ends. Repeat with other half mixture.
