Brown sugar and cardamom biscuits are a delightful treat that combines the warm, spicy aroma of cardamom with the rich sweetness of brown sugar. These biscuits are perfect for an afternoon snack, a festive gathering, or just a sweet indulgence any time of the day. They are easy to make and require simple ingredients, which makes them a great option for both novice and experienced bakers.
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Finely chop the almonds or pulse them briefly in a food processor until they are coarsely ground. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed.
Add the vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture and blend well.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the self-raising flour, all-purpose flour, and cardamom until well combined.
Incorporate the sour cream, milk, and maple syrup into the creamed butter and sugar mixture. Blend until well combined.
Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet mixture, mixing slowly until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure your biscuits stay tender.
Gently fold in the chopped almonds to the dough.
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the biscuits are golden brown and the centers are set.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your Brown Sugar and Cardamom Biscuits with a cup of tea or coffee!
Tips:
- Ensure your butter is at room temperature before beginning. This will make it easier to cream with the sugar.
- For a more intense cardamom flavor, consider freshly grinding your cardamom seeds rather than using pre-ground cardamom.
- Toasting the almonds before chopping them can enhance their nutty flavor.
- Chill the dough for about 30 minutes before shaping the biscuits to help them hold their shape better during baking.
- Line your baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent the biscuits from sticking and to promote even baking.
Once you have baked these brown sugar and cardamom biscuits, you will have a delightful treat that combines rich, spicy, and sweet flavors. Enjoy them with a cup of tea or coffee, or share them with friends and family. The intriguing combination of cardamom and brown sugar ensures that these biscuits will be a memorable addition to your baking repertoire.
