I just love a good cuppa with some biscuits! I also like to know exactly what goes into my biscuits -only natural ingredients 😊

Level: Easy

Prep: 10min. + 1 hours cooling time

Cook: 40 minutes


Ingredients:


250g butter (cold)

100g sugar

1 pack vanilla sugar

(or ½ tsp vanilla extract)

650g plain flour

100g cornflour

½ tsp salt

4 eggs (beaten)


Flavour ideas:


Chocolate:

2 tbsp cocoa powder

Rum and Raisins:

1tsp rum extract

100g raisins

Bacon and Maple syrup:

2 tbsp maple syrup

100g cooked pancetta

Cinnamon roll:

(to go on top not in the dough

25g butter (melted)

50g brown sugar

2tsp cinnamon

Salted caramel:

(to go on top not in the dough)

Caramel sauce

Coarse sea salt

Lemon:

2 tbsp lemon zest

100g candied peel


Preparation:


Divide all the ingredients in 4 so that you can do different flavours.


Cube 62.5g butter. In a large mixing bowl add 25g sugar, ¼ pack of vanilla sugar, 162.5g flour, 25g cornflour, a pinch of salt. Work in the butter until it resembles fine crumbs. Add an egg, any flavourings of your choice and form the dough into a ball. (If the dough is not coming together at all, add 1tsp of milk but try not to.) Wrap it in cling film and put it into the fridge for 1 hour.



Line a baking tray with baking paper and preheat the (fan) oven on 140C.


Take the dough out of the wrapper, roll them out about 1cm thick and cut them out in any shape you like. Place them on the baking tray and bake them for 40 minutes or until lightly golden at the edges. Let them cool down on a cooling rack and enjoy with tea, coffee or a glass of milk!
