My really really easy biscuits
I have been cooking this really easy biscuit recipe since I was in my pre-teens! It was adapted out of an old cookbook my mum had as a teenager called Cookery for Young Australians by M.I. Dawe. There are lots of variations to this recipe and I usually put in 100g chocolate chips after I've finished mixing and stir them in with a spoon. Or I'll cut a glace cherry in half and put it on top before baking.
Ingredients
Serves: 12
- 1 C self-raising flour
- 1 C plain flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 egg
- 125g shortening (I use butter)
- 125g sugar (brown sugar can be used for a richer taste and a darker bikkie)
Directions
Preparation:10min ›
Cook:10min ›
Ready in:20min
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees C. In a mixing bowl place softened butter and sugar. Mix on high until light and fluffy.
- Add egg, flours and salt and mix together until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
- Bring mixture together with hands and turn onto lightly floured board to roll.
- Roll mixture to about 2cm and cut into shapes.
- Bake in moderate oven until brown - about 10 mins.
