Almond biscuits

Almond biscuits are a delightful treat that are perfect for any time of day. With a rich buttery base and the distinct flavor of almonds, these biscuits are both simple to make and absolutely delicious. Whether you're a seasoned baker or a beginner in the kitchen, this recipe will guide you through the process of making these tasty biscuits.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter
110g
1/2 cup self-raising flour
72g
1/2 cup sugar
100g
1/3 cup almonds
40g
1 egg
50g
1 tsp vanilla extract
4g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Prepare the Almonds:
Roughly chop the almonds and set them aside.
3. Cream the Butter and Sugar:
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the 1/2 cup (110g) of softened butter and 1/2 cup (100g) of sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. You can use an electric mixer or beat by hand with a wooden spoon.
4. Add the Egg and Vanilla:
Beat in the egg (50g) until fully incorporated. Then add 1 teaspoon (4g) of vanilla extract and mix well.
5. Combine Dry Ingredients:
Gradually add in the 1/2 cup (72g) of self-raising flour, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
6. Fold in the Almonds:
Gently fold the chopped almonds into the dough until they are evenly distributed.
7. Shape the Biscuits:
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
8. Bake the Biscuits:
Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown around the edges.
9. Cool the Biscuits:
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the biscuits to cool on the sheet for a few minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Serve and Enjoy:
Enjoy your homemade almond biscuits with a nice cup of tea or coffee. They can be stored in an airtight container for several days.

Tips:

- Ensure the butter is at room temperature before mixing for a smoother batter.

- Toast the almonds lightly before adding them to the batter for an extra depth of flavor.

- Chill the dough in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before baking to help the biscuits hold their shape better.

- Use parchment paper to line your baking sheet for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.

- Be careful not to over-bake the biscuits; they should be golden brown around the edges.

Enjoy your freshly baked almond biscuits with a cup of tea or coffee. They are perfect for sharing with friends and family, or savoring on your own. Store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain their crispiness. Happy baking!
