Sweet spiced biscuits are a delightful treat that combines the warmth of aromatic spices with the tangy zest of lemon. Perfect with a cup of tea or as an afternoon snack, these biscuits are easy to make and bring a burst of flavor to any occasion.

Ingredients:

2.50 cups all-purpose white wheat flour

310g

1/3 cup sugar

63g

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp cardamom

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp black pepper

1 tsp ground nutmeg

2 garlic cloves

2 tbsp lemon zest

30g

1 cup butter

220g

1 tbsp water

16g

Instructions:

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

2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, cardamom, cinnamon, black pepper, and nutmeg. Stir until all the dry ingredients are well blended.

3. Add Aromatics: Incorporate the minced garlic and lemon zest into the dry mixture. Stir well to ensure the flavors are evenly dispersed throughout the flour mixture.

4. Cut in the Butter: Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter, two knives, or your fingertips, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. The butter should be pea-sized.

5. Add Water: Sprinkle the tablespoon of water over the mixture. Use your hands to gently knead the mixture until it just comes together to form a dough. Be careful not to overwork the dough to keep the biscuits tender.

6. Shape the Biscuits: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4-inch thickness. Use a cookie cutter or a glass to cut out biscuits in your desired shape. Gather any scraps, re-roll, and cut out additional biscuits.

7. Bake: Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.

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

9. Serve: Enjoy these sweet spiced biscuits as a delightful treat with a cup of tea or coffee, or serve them as a unique accompaniment to savory dishes.

Tips:

- Ensure the butter is cold before mixing it with the dry ingredients. This helps create a tender, flaky texture in the biscuits.

- Mix the dry ingredients thoroughly before adding the butter to ensure that the spices are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

- For a more intense flavor, consider using freshly grated nutmeg and freshly ground black pepper.

- Chilling the dough for about 30 minutes before baking can make it easier to handle and help the biscuits hold their shape.

- If you prefer a sweeter biscuit, you can sprinkle a little extra sugar on top of the dough before baking.

Enjoy these sweet spiced biscuits fresh out of the oven, with their perfect balance of spices and a hint of lemon. They are sure to be a hit with family and friends, and can easily become a go-to recipe in your baking repertoire.
