Time 30m

Yield 48 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup natural oat bran
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt, to taste
1/4 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
75 g unsalted butter, chopped
1/2 cup water
1 egg, lightly whisked
extra natural oat bran, to dust
blue cheese, cheddar and brie, to serve

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F, and line 2 baking trays with non-stick baking paper.
  • Combine the flour, oat bran, sugar, salt and bicarbonate of soda in a large bowl, and use your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles fine breadcrumbs.
  • Add the water and use a round-bladed knife in a cutting motion to mix the ingredients in the bowl until the mixture just comes together.
  • Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 30 minutes to rest.
  • Divide the dough into 2 equal portions and use a lightly floured rolling pin to roll out the dough until it is about 3mm thick. Use a 5cm/2"-diameter round pastry cutter to cut out the biscuits and place them on the prepared trays.
  • Lightly brush the tops of the biscuits with egg and sprinkle with the extra oat bran.
  • Bake in a pre-heated oven, swapping the position of the trays over halfway through the cooking, for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Set aside for 15 minutes to cool.
  • Serve with the blue cheese, cheddar and brie and with Toffee Grapes Recipe #144733.

Tips for Baking Perfect Oaten Biscuits

1. Use Fresh Oats: - Fresh oats provide a better texture and flavor to your biscuits. - If using rolled oats, toast them lightly in a pan before adding them to the batter. 2. Butter and Sugar: - Soften the butter properly to ensure it mixes well with the sugar. - Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy for a better texture. 3. Adding Eggs: - Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. - This helps the eggs to be fully incorporated and prevents curdling. 4. Measuring Flour: - Use a kitchen scale to measure the flour accurately. - Too much flour can result in dry and crumbly biscuits. 5. Combining Dry and Wet Ingredients: - Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients gradually, mixing until just combined. - Overmixing can result in tough biscuits. 6. Chilling the Dough: - Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. - Chilling helps the dough to firm up and prevents spreading. 7. Baking Temperature: - Bake the biscuits in a preheated oven to ensure even cooking. - Do not open the oven door during baking to prevent the biscuits from falling. 8. Cooling Process: - Allow the biscuits to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. - This helps to prevent the biscuits from becoming soggy.
