Delight your taste buds this Easter with our Spiced Easter Biscuits, a perfect blend of aromatic spices and rich buttery goodness. These biscuits are simple to make and will surely add a festive touch to your holiday celebrations.
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer on medium speed.
Add the cinnamon, cardamom, and ginger to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix well to evenly distribute the spices.
Add the egg yolk to the bowl. Mix until fully incorporated, ensuring the batter is smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose white wheat flour and the self-raising flour.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a dough forms. Make sure everything is well-combined but avoid over-mixing.
Take small portions of dough and roll them into balls (about 1 inch in diameter). Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each for spreading.
Gently press each dough ball down with the back of a spoon or a fork to flatten slightly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Keep an eye on them to avoid over-baking.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the biscuits cool on the sheet for 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once completely cooled, your Spiced Easter Biscuits are ready to enjoy. Store any leftovers in an airtight container.
Tips:
- Ensure the butter is at room temperature before you start for easier mixing.
- For a more intense flavor, you can slightly increase the spice quantities or let the dough rest in the fridge for a couple of hours to allow the spices to infuse.
- Use parchment paper to line your baking tray to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- If you want a crisper texture, roll the dough thinner. For a softer texture, roll it thicker.
- Store the biscuits in an airtight container to keep them fresh for up to a week.
Enjoy your homemade Spiced Easter Biscuits with a warm cup of tea or coffee. These delightful treats are sure to become a favorite in your household, adding a touch of spice to your Easter festivities.
