Recipe type: Biscuits/Cookies
 
Ingredients …
  • 3 cups plain flour
  • 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup butter, at room temperature
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ½ cup white sugar extra
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Method …
  1. Set oven to 190C and line 3 trays with baking paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the flour, cream of tartar, baking powder and salt together.
  3. Using an electric mixer, beat the butter, brown sugar and white sugar on medium-high speed until fluffy and light for approximately 3 minutes.
  4. Beat in the eggs and the vanilla extract.
  5. Remove bowl from the mixer and add the flour mixture. Using a wooden spoon, stir until just combined.
  6. In a small shallow bowl, add the extra white sugar and cinnamon and stir until well blended
  7. Form the biscuit dough into small balls, equivalent to roughly 1 tablespoon of mixture (about the same size as a rum ball).
  8. Roll the balls in the sugar/cinnamon mixture and place on the prepared baking trays. Leave approximately 4 – 5 cm between each ball in both directions to allow room for spreading. I usually do 9 balls (or biscuits)/tray.
  9. Bake for approximately 11 – 12 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown.
  10. Remove tray from oven and allow the biscuits to sit for approximately 3 minutes. Transfer biscuits to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. This recipe makes approximately 50 – 55 biscuits depending on the size you roll the balls and the biscuits can be frozen.
