Spicy Sultana Biscuits
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Step 1
Turn the oven to 200 c.
Gather your ingredients together
-
Step 2
Place the butter and sugar into your bowl, cut the pieces small with a butter knife, then, using a wooden spoon, cream them until no lumps of butter remain, and it looks a little like breadcrumbs.
Add the egg, and stir.
-
Step 3
Add all the other ingredients and mix.
The mix will seem very dry, that's normal.
-
Step 4
Flour your kitchen bench or dough sheet
-
Step 5
Tip the dough mix onto the floured area. Use your hands to lightly knead the dough till it comes together, don't knead too much.
Roll out with a rolling pin, or a straight sided glass - or just press it out with your hands, till it is about 1 to 1 1/2cm thick.
Cut into squares with a knife (rub some flour on the knife first so they don't stick too much).
-
Step 6
The biscuits will probably be stuck to the surface, so, using a butter knife, scrape under them and transfer to the slice tins that have been covered with baking paper.
Keep in mind that they will spread a little so leave some room between them.
-
Step 7
Bake for 20 minutes, or until starting to brown.
When cooked, take out the trays and leave the biscuits on them for at least 15 minutes.
-
Step 8
Transfer to a cooling rack to finish cooling.
Note
If you don't want to bother rolling and cutting, you can just roll small amounts of dough into a ball with your hands, place on a tray, and flatten to about 1.5 cm high
You can substitute diced dried apricot for the sultanas and lower the amount of spices, but add some vanilla extract.
