Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 150 grams Unsalted butter (cold, diced)
- 100 grams Brown sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 100 grams Dates (pitted and finely chopped)
- 100 grams Walnuts (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, rub the cold, diced butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Add the brown sugar, chopped dates, and walnuts to the mixture. Stir to evenly distribute the ingredients.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and vanilla extract. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the dough to about 5mm thickness.
Use a biscuit cutter to cut the dough into your desired shapes and place them onto the prepared baking tray, leaving a small gap between each biscuit.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are lightly golden around the edges.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your Favourite Date Walnut Biscuits with tea or coffee!
