These biscuits are so quick and easy to make. This version is plain, they are basically like Rich Tea or Morning Coffee biscuits. You can always cover them with melted chocolate. We love dunking them in tea or coffee...yummmm....this is an old Maltese recipe (about 50 years old). They are so crispy and they smell so nice whilst they are in the oven and most of all they are delicious in their simplicity. Give them a go...these amounts make around 30 biscuits. You will need...
- 110g plain flour
- 100g sugar
- 100g cornflour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 100g butter, cut into cubes
- 1 egg, beaten
- Extra flour for dusting
How to...
- Preheat the oven at 175°C.
- Sieve all the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Stir to combine.
- Rub the butter/margarine cubes into the flour with your fingertips, until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
- Add the beaten egg, and mix well with a wooden spoon or spatula until you get a dough. If the dough is sticky add a bit more plain flour.
- Knead well on a lightly floured surface until you get a smooth dough. Roll the dough thinly and cut into round shapes using a glass or other shapes if you want.
- Carefully put the shapes on a tray covered with baking paper.
- Bake the biscuits for 15 minutes. Keep checking on them because if they are too thin they will burn.
Enjoy!!!!
