Spice Biscuits recipe – 104 calories
Ingredients:
225 g plain flour (not self-rising!)
110 g unsalted butter, softened
2 egg yolks
150 g caster sugar or superfine sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground British mixed spice
Preparation:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C), gas mark 4 and grease a baking or cookie sheet.
2. Beat the softened butter with the caster sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the egg yolks and beat to combine.
4. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon and mixed spice, and whisk (or sieve).
5. Stir the spiced flour into the egg, butter and sugar mixture, and knead lightly on a floured board to bring the dough together.
6. Roll out dough to 1/4 inch (0.5cm) thickness on a floured board or surface, and cut out into 2 inch rounds or whatever shapes you desire (do not re-roll dough too many times or the biscuits will be tough).
7. Bake for about 15 minutes (or until very lightly browned at the edges), then use a spatula to transfer the biscuits to a wire rack to cool.
8. Store the biscuits in an airtight container to retain their crispness.
