Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 150 grams (5 ounces) self-raising flour
- 100 grams (4 ounces) butter, softened
Sweetening Ingredients:
- 50 grams (2 ounces) caster sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the oven by heating to 180°C (fan 160°C) or 350°F, ensuring even temperature distribution.
- Prepare baking trays by lightly greasing or lining with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Cream the softened butter using a hand mixer or wooden spoon until smooth and uniform in texture.
- Gradually incorporate sugar and flour into the butter, gently mixing until a cohesive, soft dough forms.
- Divide the dough into 16 uniform portions, carefully shaping each into a round ball.
- Use a dampened fork to gently press down on each dough ball, creating distinctive textured surface marks.
- Place the prepared biscuits in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, watching for a delicate golden hue.
- Allow biscuits to rest briefly on the baking tray to set, then carefully transfer to a wire cooling rack to complete cooling.
Notes
- Swap butter for vegan margarine to create a dairy-free version of these classic biscuits.
- Use gluten-free flour blend if you need a celiac-friendly alternative that maintains the same tender texture.
- Keep fork markings shallow to ensure even baking and prevent burning of delicate edges.
- Store biscuits in an airtight container for up to 5 days to maintain their crisp, crumbly consistency.
