Abernethy Biscuits image

These "cookies" (as Americans would call them) are named after a Dr. Abernethy who suggested the addition of caraway seeds and sugar to plain biscuits.

Time 45m

Yield 1 yummy batch of biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 ounces plain flour
3 ounces caster sugar (but granulated will do)
3 ounces butter
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon caraway seed
1 tablespoon milk
1 egg

Steps:

  • Sift the flour and baking powder and rub in the butter until it is thoroughly mixed.
  • Mix in the sugar and caraway seeds and then add the egg and milk to make a stiff dough.
  • Roll the mixture on a floured surface until it is the thickness required for a biscuit/cookie.
  • Cut out with a three-inch cookie cutter, rolling the trimmings to make more, as required.
  • Prick the top of the biscuits with a fork and place on greased baking trays and bake in a pre-heated oven at 375F for 10 minutes until golden brown.
  • After they have cooled, store in an airtight tin (unless you can't resist eating them all immediately!).

I followed the recipe exactly and my biscuits turned out really dry. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These biscuits were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try making them again with less sugar next time.

I've been looking for a good Abernethy biscuit recipe for a while and this one is definitely a keeper! The biscuits were light and fluffy with a slightly sweet flavor. The sugar topping was the perfect finishing touch. I'll be making these again and

I'm not a huge fan of biscuits, but these Abernethy biscuits were really good! They were light and fluffy with a slightly sweet flavor. I loved the crunchy sugar topping. I'll definitely be making these again.

These Abernethy biscuits were a hit at my last dinner party! They were so easy to make and the flavor was amazing. My guests raved about them and couldn't believe how delicious they were. I'll definitely be making these again soon.
