Sweet biscuits are a delightful treat that combine the buttery goodness of all-purpose flour with the unique texture of corn flour. These biscuits are perfect for tea time or as a light snack. The recipe is simple and requires only a handful of ingredients, making it accessible for even novice bakers.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease it lightly with butter.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. This can be done using a hand mixer or a stand mixer on medium speed.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose white wheat flour, corn flour, and baking powder until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the dough to keep the biscuits light and tender.
- Scoop tablespoons of dough and roll them into small balls using your hands. Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches (5 cm) apart as they will spread slightly during baking.
- Use a fork to gently press down on each ball of dough, creating a crisscross pattern on the top. This helps to flatten the biscuits slightly and gives them a traditional look.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may still look slightly soft, but they will firm up as they cool.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the biscuits cool on the sheet for about 5 minutes. Transfer the biscuits to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your sweet biscuits with a cup of tea or coffee. Store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
Tips:
- Ensure that the butter is at room temperature before you start mixing it with the sugar. This helps in achieving a smooth and creamy consistency.
- When adding the eggs, do so one at a time and beat well after each addition. This ensures that the mixture is well-aerated.
- Sift the all-purpose flour, corn flour, and baking powder together. This helps in incorporating air into the mixture, leading to a lighter biscuit.
- Do not overmix the dough after adding the dry ingredients. Overmixing can make the biscuits tough.
- Using a piping bag to shape the biscuits can give them a more uniform and appealing appearance.
- Bake the biscuits until the edges are golden brown, as this will give them a delightful crunch while keeping the center soft.
