I didn't actually take the picture but they look very similar :) My Grandma has made these for as long as I can remember, so I call them 'Gam Biscuits'! Thats what I call my Grandma, its not just a random thing aha. No idea where she got the original recipe from (she has even forgotten) but I make these quite a lot so thought I would share the recipe :)
Ingredients - this amount makes a small bunch:
- 60g Sugar
- 150 - 200g Flour
- 115g Butter
- 1 tsp Vanilla Essence
- Chocolate Chips (Optional)
- Melt the butter in microwave on low heat until soft. I use Lurpack lightest which is gorgeous for baking!
- Mix in the sugar
- Add 100g of flour and blend the mixture well
- Add a further 50g of flour and mix again
- Keep adding flour 10g at a time until mixture is not sticky. This can be tested by taking a small amount and rolling it into a ball with your hands. If you get really greasy hands from the butter you need more flour.
- Optional - add some chocolate chips! I don't really measure how many, just put as much in as I feel like :) However these biscuits are gorgeous plain!
- Pre-Heat oven at 160c. Get a baking try and line with baking paper.
- Take a small amount of mixture, roll it into a ball about the size of a walnut, then place on the baking tray. Continue this until all mixture is gone!
- Now get a little cup of slightly warm water and a fork. Dip the fork in the water then lie it flat onto the biscuit - like in the picture below
And thats it! Just pop them in the oven for about 20 mins, until golden brown. They are also best to eat when still warm too with a cup of tea :) Hope anyone who tires them loves them too! Please let me know. After writing this think I am going to have to make some too... hehe!
Have a great weekend :D xXx
