About the recipe
The simplicity of these biscuits makes them wonderful in desserts, but for me the best way to celebrate this biscuit is with a cup of tea.
Recipe From
200g plain flour, plus extra for dusting
50g caster sugar, plus extra for sprinkling over
125g unsalted butter
CHOCOLATE, ORANGE & CARAWAY
zest of 1 orange
30g good-quality dark chocolate (70% cocoa solids)
1 teaspoon caraway seeds
LAVENDER & HONEY
2 tablespoons lavender honey
20g lavender sugar (use only 25g caster sugar in the main ingredients when making this version)
LEMON THYME & VANILLA
½ a small bunch of fresh lemon thyme, leaves picked
zest of 1 lemon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract or paste
You can have these biscuits plain, or scent them with everything from lemon or tangerine, to lavender, lemon thyme or caraway seeds. Just don’t go mad with these flavours, because a little goes a long way and these are nicest when the flavours are subtle.
