This is a very tasty biscuit and very simple to make. Just three ingredients plus a pinch of salt: flour, sugar and butter. I tried a couple of weeks ago for the base of a cake and really liked the buttery flavour. This biscuits are supercheap so not sure how much real butter they have. Last week I tried this recipe<\/a> and I failed miserably. So I decided to try again but using a video so I can be sure the dough has the expected texture. So I tried this video<\/a>. And it was quite good! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ingredients:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

250g unsalted butter – room temperature<\/p>\n\n\n\n

125g custer suggar<\/p>\n\n\n\n

375g plain flour<\/p>\n\n\n\n

pinch of salt<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Process:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mix everything in a bowl using your hands until getting a solid ball. Then you can spread with a rolling pin. I like thick, so a bit less than a finger. Then cut them in the shape you prefer. Use a fork to make some holes. Dust a big of sugar on top. Put in the fridge while preheat the oven at 175C. Once it is hot, put inside until slightly golden. Let them cool down in a rack. It is ok if they look soft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This time they looked nice! Maybe I should have remove them a bit earlier from the oven. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To be honest, the taste wasn’t as buttery as the ones from the shop (the ingredients list wasnt 3…) but I am quite happy with them. Only 3 (basic) ingredients. Pretty quick to bake. And still had a dough ball in the fridge because my try was small. So you can have biscuits quickly next weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
