Fork Biscuits

Hello!

This is going to be a short post, because it is a short recipe.

These are some really simple, really easy little biscuits! they're the kind of recipe that are great for kids, as they are hands-on and really fun to make!

The ingredients you'll need are;

- 4 oz Butter, really soft but not melted

- 2 oz Caster Sugar

- 5 oz Self Raising Flour

Method:

All you need is a tray with some baking paper on it and a fork. Preheat the oven to 180 C in a Fan Oven.

- Put the butter and sugar into a bowl and beat together with a wooden spoon. Cream them until it becomes soft and a lighter colour and fluffy like texture. You'll know it is mixed enough when the butter/sugar mix coats the bowl and not the spoon.

- Add the flour. The most difficult part of this recipe, is trying to keep the flour in the bowl, yeah I know, easy peasy, lemon squeezy!

- Once the mix starts to come together, get your hand in there and squish and knead it together until it forms a smooth, light ball shape.

- Take this and pick off little walnut sized chunks and roll into a ball shape. Pop onto the baking tray. Do this for as many as the dough will provide.

- Wet a fork with some water and press this down onto the ball, to flatten it. The water will stop it from sticking. This will make them fork biscuits, duh!

- Pop them into the oven for 10-12 minutes. Keep an eye on them though, making sure they don't burn. Oven are all different and can cook slower or faster, so keep checking them. You want to wait for them to flatten out and be golden round the edges and firm-ish to the touch. Not rock hard, but not as soft as they were when they went in either. :)

- Take them out and allow to cool on a rack. They'll harden up as they cool.

That's it, simple as!

Thanks
