With a few basic ingredients, you can create these golden, star-shaped biscuits that are sure to impress.

Instructions:

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

2. Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and cinnamon. Set aside.

3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

4. Add Egg and Vanilla: Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat until well combined.

5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

6. Form Biscuits: Scoop small amounts of dough (about a tablespoon each) and roll them into balls. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Gently flatten each ball with your hand or the back of a spoon.

7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The center should be slightly soft.

8. Cool: Let the biscuits cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

9. Serve: Once cooled, serve your Gold Star Biscuits with a hot cup of tea or coffee. Enjoy!

Gold star biscuits FAQ:

What is the baking time for Gold Star Biscuits?

Bake the Gold Star Biscuits in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are slightly soft.

How should I store leftover Gold Star Biscuits?

Store leftover Gold Star Biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. If you'd like to keep them longer, consider freezing them for up to 3 months.

Can I substitute the all-purpose flour with another type of flour?

Yes, you can substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend or whole wheat flour, but this may slightly alter the texture and flavor of the biscuits.

How do I know when the biscuits are done baking?

The biscuits are done when the edges are lightly golden brown and the center remains slightly soft. It's best to monitor them closely to prevent overbaking.

What if I don't have butter; can I use margarine or oil instead?

You can use margarine as a direct substitute for butter in this recipe. If using oil, reduce the amount slightly, as it can affect the texture of the biscuits.

Tips:

- To ensure your biscuits are consistently golden, make sure to evenly roll out the dough to a uniform thickness.

- Chill the dough in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before rolling it out to make it easier to handle and shape into stars.

- Use a star-shaped cookie cutter to achieve a consistent and appealing shape. If you don’t have a star cutter, you can use any other preferred shape.

- For an extra touch of sweetness, sprinkle a little sugar on top of the biscuits before baking.

- Make sure to use room temperature butter for easier mixing and smoother dough consistency.
