These biscuits are perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth while offering a unique texture thanks to the inclusion of pine nuts. Whether you're an experienced baker or a novice, this recipe is simple and straightforward, making it an excellent choice for anyone looking to bake something special.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the self-raising flour, all-purpose white wheat flour, and salt. Mix well to ensure that the salt is well-distributed.
- Place a small skillet over medium heat. Add the pine nuts and toast them, stirring frequently, until they are golden brown and fragrant. This should take about 3-5 minutes. Be careful not to burn them. Once toasted, remove from heat and set aside to cool.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, vanilla extract, and the egg until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring continuously until a dough forms.
- Once the dough is well-mixed, fold in the cooled toasted pine nuts and stir until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Scoop tablespoonfuls of dough and roll them into balls using your hands. Place each ball onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Press each ball down gently with the back of a spoon to flatten slightly.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 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 about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips:
- Measure the flour accurately: Use a kitchen scale to measure the flour precisely for consistent results.
- Toast the pine nuts: Lightly toasting the pine nuts before adding them to the dough can enhance their flavor.
- Use room temperature egg: Let the egg come to room temperature before mixing it into the dough for better incorporation.
- Mix wet and dry ingredients separately: Combine the wet and dry ingredients separately before mixing them together to ensure even distribution.
- Chill the dough: Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to help the biscuits maintain their shape.
- Monitor the baking time: Keep an eye on the biscuits while they bake, as oven temperatures can vary; they are done when they have a slight golden edge.
With their golden-brown crust and delectable aroma, honey and pine nut biscuits are sure to become a favorite in your household. The blend of honey, pine nuts, and vanilla offers a delicious flavor profile that’s both comforting and unique. Enjoy these biscuits with a cup of tea or coffee, or share them with friends and family during special gatherings. Happy baking!
