Is there anything more comforting than warm shortbread biscuits and a pot of earl grey tea? —Kylie Zimanyi
Ingredients
-
385 grams
plain flour, sifted
-
225 grams
butter, melted
-
175 grams
brown sugar
-
1
egg
-
11 grams
baking powder
-
1 tablespoon
fresh thyme, finely chopped
-
1
orange, zested
-
1 pinch
salt
Directions
-
Whisk the melted butter, sugar and egg in a bowl until the mixture has a creamy consistency.
-
Add the flour, baking powder and salt to the mixture and knead until a smooth dough is formed.
-
Knead the orange and thyme into the dough ensuring it is evenly distributed. Knead the dough into a ball, wrap the dough in cling-wrap and refrigerate it overnight. (If you are time-poor, 1 hour should suffice).
-
When you are ready to prepare the biscuits, preheat the oven to 180o celsius.
Take the dough out of the refrigerator. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough into a 1/4 of an inch in thickness. Cut out your desired biscuit shapes and place them on a pre-lined baking tray. Place them in the oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
-
Take out the biscuits and allow them to cool on a cooling rack. Bon Appétit! :-)
