It may be that you will be inundated with chocolates and gifts and have no desire to bake, but I think homemade biscuits are great at anytime, so give these simple ones a go, they take hardly any preparation, cook in next to no time, and taste lovely, and lets face it, who can resist freshly baked goodies, not me!!
Ingredients
6oz/175g self raising flour
0.5 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1 tsp cinnamon
0.5 tsp ground ginger
2 tsp sugar
2oz/50g butter
3 tbsp syrup
Method
Pre heat oven to Gas5/190'c
Grease a couple of baking sheets
Put the dry ingredients into a bowl
In a pan melt the butter with the syrup
Pour the melted mixture into the dry ingredients and mix well
You should now have a dough, if it is a little too soft add a small amount more flour
Roll out on a floured surface to about 4mm thick and cut with heart shaped cutters (Or whatever you fancy)
Pop onto the baking sheets and cook for approx 8 minutes watch carefully as they can over cook quite quickly
Remove from oven and leave on the tray for a couple of minute before transferring to a cooling rack
Ice if you like
Obviously the size of the cutters makes a difference to the amount of biscuits you get, but the batch I had just baked numbered 22, yum yum!
