Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams unsalted butter, softened
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 200 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 egg yolk (for glaze)
- 1 teaspoon water (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar using a hand mixer or a stand mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Add in the egg and beat until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and fine sea salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing just until a dough forms. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll it out to about 1/4-inch thickness.
Using a round cookie cutter, cut out biscuits and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each biscuit.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and water to create an egg wash.
Gently brush the top of each biscuit with the egg wash to give them a glossy finish when baked.
Using a fork, gently press onto each biscuit to create cross patterns or deco patterns, being careful not to pierce through the dough.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown around the edges.
Remove from the oven and allow the biscuits to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store cooled biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
