Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams Unsalted butter
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Milk
- 75 grams Dried currants
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, using an electric mixer or wooden spoon.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter-sugar mixture, mixing until just combined. The dough will be crumbly at this stage.
Add the milk to the dough and mix until it comes together into a smooth consistency.
Gently fold the dried currants into the dough, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the dough to a thickness of about 5mm (1/4 inch).
Using a round or fluted cookie cutter (approximately 5cm/2 inches in diameter), cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small space between each one.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the biscuits are lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and allow the biscuits to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store in an airtight container for up to one week. Serve with tea or coffee and enjoy!
