4 Ingredient plain biscuit recipe
I love a good biscuit, especially when it is a scrumptious buttery biscuit. This recipe makes a biscuit that is relatively low in sugar but doesn't skimp on taste.
Ingredients
- 225 gr flour plain
- 130 gr butter if unsalted, add a pinch of salt.
- 80 gr icing sugar
- 1 medium egg beaten
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 190 C.
- In a medium sized bowl add the flour then cube the butter and add it to the flour. Either by rubbing with your finger or using a pastry blender incorporate the butter into the flour until it resembles breadcrumbs.
- Add in the sugar and mix well with a spoon or your hands.
- If you have not already beaten the egg, do so now into a separate small bowl. Then add to the mixture in the bowl and form into a dough ball.
- Let cool in the fridge for 10 to 20 minutes.
- Roll out into a thin sheet about 3 mm thick and using a 6 cm ⌀ cookie cutter, cut out all the biscuits. You can also do this with a glass if you don't have a cookie cutter, or you can cut it out into cool shapes.
- Lay them out onto a greased baking sheet and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, depending on your oven. I bake mine for 12 minutes since that gives the perfect amount of crispness for my oven.
Notes
If you want to make these biscuits extra special you can glaze them with some icing. Which you make by mixing some powdered sugar with a tiny bit of water.
Or alternatively, you can brush some chocolate on top of them. You melt some chocolate au bain marie and with a pastry brush, cover the tops of the biscuits.
