Biscuits Bretons

Easy to make and delicious, everything I like in a home made biscuit.

Ingredients

150 g salted butter, softened
175g caster sugar
4 egg yolks
1 tsp salt
250g plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
Egg wash

Directions

In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar with a wooden spoon.

Slowly add the yolks, mixing in well, then add the salt, flour and baking powder. Mix well to form a dough.

Shape the dough into a long roll about 4cm in diameter and wrap with cling film. If the dough is too long, you can split it into two rolls.

Refrigerate for at least two hours.

Unwrap the dough, then using a cutter, cut the roll into 1 cm thick discs. Place the discs on the baking tray leaving enough space in between them to expand.

Brush the biscuits gently with egg wash.

Then finally, lightly cross the biscuits with a fork to decorate before baking for 15- 20 minutes or until golden brown.

After baking, transfer the biscuits to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Cooking time: 30 min
Total time including refrigeration: 2 hour 30 min
Yield: 12 - 18 Biscuits
