Fork biscuits

Here is the recipe of the biscuits we have been making in class.

Ingredients

100g softened butter

50g caster sugar

Butter for lining trays

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C /fan 160°C/ gas 4. Lightly butter two baking trays.

Measure the butter into a bowl and beat to soften. Gradually beat in the sugar and then the flour. Bring the mixture together with your hands to form a dough.   Form the dough into 16 balls about the size of a walnut and place spaced well apart on the prepared baking trays. Dip a fork in a little water and use this to flatten the biscuits.
