SPICED BISCUITS

Categories     side-dish

Time 40m

Yield 8 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
2 tablespoons baking powder
2 tablespoons za'atar
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
6 tablespoons cold butter, cut into cubes
1 1/2 cups cold milk
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Combine the flour, baking powder, 1 tablespoon of the za'atar, the sugar and salt in a medium bowl using a whisk. Using a bowl scraper or your fingers, mix in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal; using your fingers will create a more cake-like texture. Make a well in the center and pour in the milk. Stir until just combined.
  • Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead 5 or 6 times. Roll the dough into a 1-inch-thick disc and cut out biscuits using a 3-inch biscuit cutter. Make sure you don't twist the cutter otherwise you'll squish the sides and the biscuit won't rise. Knead the scraps together, re-roll and cut out biscuits until all the dough has been used.
  • Place the biscuits bottom-side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Whisk together the vegetable oil with the remaining 1 tablespoon za'atar and brush the mixture on each biscuit. Bake until golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes.

Categories     Cookies

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 eggs
1/3 c unsalted butter, melted
3/4 c honey
3 c plain flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp ground cardamon
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/4 c caster sugar
2 oz melted dark chocolate, to serve

Steps:

  • 1. Separate 2 eggs and reserve 1 egg white. (Discard the other egg white or use it for another recipe.) Whisk the 2 egg yolks in a bowl with butter, honey and remaining egg. Sift flour, baking powder and spices into a bowl and combine. Make a well in the centre, add egg mixture and gradually combine. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • 2. Preheat oven to 180°C. Line 2 oven trays with baking paper. Using damp hands, shape tablespoonfuls of mixture into 24 balls and place on the trays. Flatten them slightly and bake, swapping the trays halfway, for 15 minutes or until cooked through and golden. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
  • 3. To make meringue, whisk reserved egg white with sugar to soft peaks, then spread 1 tsp meringue mixture over each biscuit. Drizzle with chocolate and allow to set before serving.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the final flavor of your biscuits.
  • Be sure to use cold butter. This will help to create a flaky texture.
  • Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make the biscuits tough.
  • Be careful not to overbake the biscuits. Overbaked biscuits will be dry and crumbly.
  • Let the biscuits cool slightly before serving. This will help them to set and firm up.
