Time 35m

Yield 1 batch

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 ounces butter
4 ounces sugar
1 egg
1 tablespoon grated fresh lemon rind
8 ounces flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
raspberry jam

Steps:

  • Cream the butter and sugar, add the egg and rind and then beat well.
  • Add the sifted flour and baking powder.
  • Knead, roll out and cut into rounds.
  • Make a small hole[just under 1 cm diameter] in the centre of every second biscuit.
  • Bake 15-20 minutes at 350 deg F.
  • When cold, put the biscuits together with raspberry jam.

Tips:

  • Use cold butter: This will help to create flaky layers in the biscuits.
  • Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make the biscuits tough.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help to prevent the biscuits from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the biscuits in a hot oven: This will help to create a crispy exterior and a fluffy interior.
  • Serve the biscuits warm: Shrewsbury biscuits are best enjoyed when they are warm from the oven.

Conclusion:

Shrewsbury biscuits are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a batch of these classic biscuits that will be sure to please everyone.
