Perfect for afternoon tea or as a snack, these biscuits are sure to become a favorite in your household. Follow this recipe to create delicious, golden biscuits that everyone will love.

Ingredients:

1 cup butter
220g
1/2 cup brown sugar
120g
1.50 cups condensed milk
340g
1 egg
50g
2 cups all-purpose white wheat flour
250g
1/2 cup self-raising flour
72g
1 cup dried apricots
150g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line two baking trays with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
2. Prepare the Dried Apricots:
Chop the dried apricots into small pieces and set them aside.
3. Cream the Butter and Sugar:
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar using an electric mixer or a sturdy wooden spoon until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
4. Add Condensed Milk and Egg:
Add the condensed milk and the egg to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
5. Incorporate the Flour:
In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose white wheat flour and the self-raising flour. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing thoroughly until a soft dough forms.
6. Fold in the Apricots:
Gently fold the chopped apricots into the dough, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
7. Shape the Biscuits:
Roll tablespoons of dough into balls and place them on the prepared baking trays, spacing them about 2 inches (5 cm) apart to allow room for spreading. Gently flatten each ball with the palm of your hand or the back of a spoon.
8. Bake:
Place the trays in the preheated oven. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges of the biscuits are lightly golden. Baking times may vary slightly depending on your oven.
9. Cool:
Remove the trays from the oven and allow the biscuits to cool on the trays for a few minutes. Transfer the biscuits to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Serve:
Once the biscuits are completely cool, serve them with tea, coffee, or as a delightful snack on their own. Enjoy!

Tips:

- Make sure the butter is at room temperature for easier creaming with the sugar.

- Chop the dried apricots into small pieces to ensure even distribution throughout the dough.

- Do not overmix the dough once you add the flours, as overmixing can result in tough biscuits.

- Use a spoon or cookie scoop to drop even portions of dough onto the baking sheet for uniform biscuits.

- Bake the biscuits until they are golden brown around the edges but still slightly soft in the center. They will continue to firm up as they cool.

These Sweet Apricot Biscuits are a perfect way to enjoy the rich, buttery flavor combined with the tangy sweetness of dried apricots. They are easy to make and ideal for serving at gatherings or enjoying as a snack. Enjoy your freshly baked biscuits with a cup of tea or coffee, and share them with friends and family.
