This delicious crumbly biscuit has been a family favourite for pretty much all of my life. The recipe was passed from my grandmother to my mother and now to me. It was a bit difficult to write the exact recipe because a lot of it is done by feel as opposed to measurements. My advise would be to practice till you get it right!
Ingredients:
250g butter (softened)
1 cup caster sugar
1 cup semolina
2 cups plain flour (sifted)
2 cups self-raising flour (sifted)
1 teaspoon baking powder (sifted)
1 teaspoon ground cardamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup oil
Method:
- Preheat oven to 160°C. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
- Cream the butter and sugar using an electric mixer.
- Add the oil and stir.
- In another bowl, add the semolina, plain flour, self-raising flour, baking powder, cardamon and nutmeg. Mix together.
- Gradually add the dry ingedients to the butter mixture (1 cup at a time). Stir continuously until a dough forms - the dough will be crumbly. You will know it's ready when it is really soft and does not stick to your fingers.
- Roll the dough into balls - approximately 3cm in diameter.
- Place on the baking tray. Use a fork to lightly press the balls down to form a lined pattern on the surface of the dough.
- Bake for approximately 20 minutes or until lightly brown around the edges and underneath.
Best served with a cosy cup of tea! Na xo
