Hello Everyone,
I hope you all had a fabulous weekend and starting off your week right. Can you imagine Christmas is right around the corner? Since we are in another round of lockdown and I haven’t posted on here in like forever, I decided to go ahead and pop in real quick and update some of my old recipes. I made these quite a lot during the first lockdown and they always go down a treat. This is a simple basic biscuit recipe which you can make like literally in minutes and won’t have to worry whether or not you’re going to mess up and they always turn out great.
You will need
- 2 cups flour
- 125gms butter
- 1/4 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup milk
- A tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
METHOD
- In a saucepan, put butter, sugar, bicarbonate of soda and milk and bring it to a boil.
- Once it has cooled down, add your vanilla extract and give it a good mix.
- In another bowl, combine your flour and salt and in goes your butter mixture and mix to form a dough.
- Wrap it in cling film and toss it in the fridge for 30 minutes which will make it easier to be rolled out when cool
- Preheat your oven to 210°C and line your baking pan with a baking sheet.
- After it has done chilling, roll it out on a flat surface and using your cookie cutters, cut them into shapes squares, rounds or stars your choice.
- Into the oven they go for 10-12 minutes depending on your biscuit size.
- Once they are done, leave them to cool on a rack.
- After that, here is where you can get creative and have an icing glaze on the biscuits but I love them just the way they are.
- Serve and enjoy.
- Store them in an air tight tin and they will keep for very long (IF THEY LAST THAT LONG).
NOTE: This recipe made me a good amount of biscuits, after rolling out the first batch, pick up the remaining cut outs and roll it out again, if you want to make more then double the recipe. Also make sure not to overcrowd your baking try when baking and leave some space in between.
So there you go, a simple basic biscuit recipe for you to enjoy anytime with your kids, guests or just by yourself.

Thank you.
This recipe is amazing, ive made it a few times. Just a question, when I make them they spread and dont hold their shape. What could I be doing wrong? Am I rolling them too thin?
First make sure you have refrigerated it for a while like 30 minutes before rolling it out and yes don’t roll too thin, let it have some thickness to it. Tell me how it goes and thank you for trying them out.
