Cardamom Biscuits image

These biscuits are really easy to make and have a lovely subtle cardamom spice flavour. You can top them with a thin layer of icing or leave them plain and enjoy them warm out of the oven. (They make a really pretty present too!)

Time 1h

Yield Makes Biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 6

150g self raising flour
75g butter
50g golden caster sugar
1 teaspoon freshly ground cardamom
1 egg
Golden icing sugar and a little water (optional)

Steps:

  • Rub the butter and flour together until it forms small breadcrumbs. Then add the caster sugar and ground cardamom. Beat the egg in a separate bowl and add 2 tablespoons of it to the dry ingredients (you can keep the rest of the egg for another recipe)
  • Mix the ingredients together until they form a soft dough. Then wrap in cling film and chill in the fridge for around 30 mins.
  • Once the dough has chilled roll out on a floured surface so that it is around half a cm thick and cut into rounds using a biscuit cutter. Place the biscuits on to a greased baking sheet (it should make around 12 biscuits) and bake at 180c for 10-15mins.
  • Allow the biscuits to cool. I decided to ice mine using golden icing sugar and a little water. I waited until the biscuits were cold and then spread the icing on to them using a pastry brush to get a thin layer of glazed icing.
