Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 115 grams granulated sugar
- 1 large egg yolk
- 200 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon mixed spice
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 50 grams currants
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 2 tablespoons caster sugar (for sprinkling)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) or 170°C (fan). Line two baking trays with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy using a hand or stand mixer.
Add the egg yolk to the mixture and continue to beat until well combined.
Sift the all-purpose flour, mixed spice, and ground cinnamon into the bowl. Mix until the ingredients are just combined.
Stir in the currants and gradually add the milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. The dough should be soft but not sticky.
Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the dough to about 5mm (1/4 inch) thick using a rolling pin.
Using a 7cm (3-inch) round cookie cutter, cut out the biscuits and place them onto the prepared baking trays. Re-roll the dough scraps and repeat until it’s all used.
Sprinkle the tops of the biscuits generously with caster sugar.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the biscuits are lightly golden around the edges.
Remove the trays from the oven and allow the biscuits to cool on the trays for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy the biscuits plain or with a cup of tea. These can be stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
