Easy
Biscuits
Ingredients
8oz flour, self raising is best (gluten free if necessary)
+
pinch of salt (it brings out the flavours)
5oz butter or margarine (soya
margarine if it's for vegans)
beaten egg or milk to mix (soya
milk, rice milk if for vegans)
4oz sugar, castor or granulated
Sifted icing sugar and halved
glace cherries to decorate or glace icing and chocolate sprinkles or
hundreds and thousands.
Method
Rub the butter or margarine into
the dry ingredients.
Mix to a stiff dough with the
milk/egg.
Wrap in cling film and leave in
the fridge for 1/2 an hour or so. (this is not essential but it
helps!)
Knead on a floured board and roll
out to about 1/2 inch thickness and cut circles with a pastry cutter.
Place on a buttered baking tray and prick with a fork.
Bake gas 4/ 350F/ 180C for 12
minutes or so until they are pale golden and leave for 10 minutes as
the biscuits are fragile when very hot.
Put onto a baking tray and sift
icing sugar on the biscuits whilst they are still warm. Pop on a
half glace cherry whilst still warm.
or
use glace icing to decorate, with
or without sprinkles on top.
This is a nice easy recipe to use with children.
