Anise, Almond and Cranberry Biscuits.
Hello, how is your week going? Are your children off school now for the Summer holiday? Looking for a recipe to bake with the kids?
It is raining today here so we having a stay at home day today and not going too far. I think this afternoon we might do a spot of baking.
Fancy making some biscuits?
How about trying these Anise, Almond and Cranberry Biscuits?
How To Make Anise, Almond and Cranberry Biscuits:
Makes 20 biscuits
Ingredients:
2 star anise, ground in a coffee grinder or pestle and mortar
200g Meridian almond butter
325g self-raising flour
125g caster sugar
100g dried cranberries
2 egg yolks, beaten
Anise, Almond and Cranberry Biscuits Method:
1. Heat the oven to 180C/ 160C fan/Gas 4. Grind the star anise to a powder. Put the almond butter, flour and anise powder into a food processor and whizz for a minute to form breadcrumbs. Tip into a bowl and stir through the sugar and cranberries.
2. In a small bowl beat the egg yolks with 3tbsp water then tip into the biscuit crumb. Mix to a dough. This is quite crumbly dough so you’ll need to get your hands into the bowl to bring it all together.
3. Roll out onto a floured surface to approximately ½ cm thick then cut into 20 biscuits. Lay onto greased baking sheets and bake for 20mins until they are light brown.
4. Remove from the oven, transfer to a cooling rack then dust with icing sugar. Keep in an airtight tin for up to 2 weeks.
Cook’s tip – the biscuit dough is quite crumbly when rolled but don’t worry if it breaks, just press and prod it back together.
