Baking
Ayla’s Spooky Cinnamon Biscuits
Ingredients
- 300 gr. (10½ oz.) plain flour
- 3 tsp. cinnamon
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 150 gr. (5 oz.) soft brown sugar
- 90 gr. (3¼ oz.) butter, cubed
- 1 egg
- 50 gr. (2 oz.) syrup
- 1 tsp. milk (optional)
- Preheat oven to 170°C. Line a baking sheet with baking parchment.
Method
1
Sift the flour, cinnamon and baking powder into a large bowl and stir in the soft brown sugar. Add the cubed butter and rub in until it resembles breadcrumbs.
2
In a separate bowl beat the egg and then add the syrup. Beat until smooth.
3
Make a well in the centre of the mixture and pour in the egg and syrup. Form into a smooth ball, adding the milk only if it seems dry.
4
Wrap the dough in clingfilm and chill for 30 minutes.
5
Roll out to 5 mm. (¼") thick - I used a little flour and also some icing sugar.
6
Cut into spooky Halloween shapes.
7
Bake in a 170°C oven for 10-12 minutes.
8
Decorate as Ayla did on 7th October, 2012! (with a little help from her Nanny).
