Bone biscuits are a delightful treat perfect for any spooky season or just for fun. These buttery, sugar-laden biscuits, shaped like bones, are not only visually appealing but also incredibly tasty. They're made using simple ingredients you probably already have in your pantry and come together quickly. Follow this guide for a step-by-step on how to create these delicious snacks.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter

110g

1 cup powdered sugar

160g

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 egg white

33g

1.50 cups all-purpose white wheat flour

190g

1/4 cup self-raising flour

36g

1 cup powdered sugar

160g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.

2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1 cup of powdered sugar (160g) until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed.

3. Add Vanilla and Egg White: Add the vanilla extract and egg white to the butter-sugar mixture. Stir until well combined. The mixture might look a bit curdled at this stage, but that's okay; it will come together with the flour.

4. Combine Flours: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose white wheat flour and self-raising flour until well mixed.

5. Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed or by hand until a dough forms. The dough should be smooth and pliable.

6. Shape the Dough: Divide the dough into smaller portions that are easier to handle. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each portion to about 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) thickness. Use a bone-shaped cookie cutter to cut out the biscuits. Place the shapes onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about an inch apart.

7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Keep an eye on them to avoid over-baking.

8. Cool: Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

1. Mix the remaining 1 cup of powdered sugar with a few teaspoons of milk or water, a tiny bit at a time, until you reach a smooth, spreadable consistency.
2. Once the biscuits are completely cool, you can drizzle or spread the icing over the top.
3. Allow the icing to set before serving.

Tips:

- For an even better shape, chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out.

- Use a bone-shaped cookie cutter for perfect shapes. If you don't have one, you can carefully shape them by hand.

- Ensure all your ingredients are at room temperature to blend more smoothly.

- When baking, keep an eye on the biscuits to ensure they don't over-brown. They should be a light golden color.

- For added flair, you can decorate the biscuits with additional powdered sugar once they’ve cooled.

And there you have it, your homemade bone biscuits! These biscuits are the perfect combination of buttery and sweet, with a delightful crunch. They’re great for parties, special occasions, or just as a fun baking project. Enjoy your bone biscuits with a glass of milk or a cup of tea, and share them with friends and family for some spooky fun!
