Method

  1. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Melt the butter in a small pan, then allow to cool slightly. Tip all the dry ingredients into a bowl, with ½ tsp salt, then pour in the butter. Add 5-6 tbsp boiling water and combine to make a firm dough.
  2. Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface, then roll out until about 0.5cm thick. Cut into small squares, then bake for 12-15 mins until golden. Leave to cool for a few mins, then transfer to a wire rack and cool completely.

MAKE AHEAD

The biscuits will keep fresh for 2 weeks in an airtight container, or freeze for up to 3 months.

    Just made three batches of these, one after the other. They're great, lovely texture, quick and simple to make. I used 4tbsp water which I felt was enough. Lovely Christmas gift along with some homemade chutney and cheese.

    Loving the texture. I think you can taste the bicarb and I'm not sure why you'd have it without an acid, so may swap it for baking powder next time.
