Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Roughly chop the almonds and set them aside.
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.
Beat in the egg (50g) until fully incorporated. Then add 1 teaspoon (4g) of vanilla extract and mix well.
Gradually add in the 1/2 cup (72g) of self-raising flour, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold the chopped almonds into the dough until they are evenly distributed.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown around the edges.
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.
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!
