Ingredients You’ll Need
- 130g spelt flour
- 30g honey
- 25g butter
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
How to Make Spelt and Honey Biscuits
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
Start by melting the butter. Let it cool slightly before combining it with the honey and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl. Whisk until smooth.
Incorporate the wet mixture into the spelt flour, stirring gently with a spatula. Once the dough starts to come together, use your hands to shape it into a smooth ball. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow it to firm up.
Step 2: Roll and Shape
Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F).
Place the chilled dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out to an even thickness. Use a round cookie cutter to shape the biscuits, re-rolling the dough scraps as needed. Arrange the biscuits on a baking tray lined with a baking mat or parchment paper.
Step 3: Bake to Perfection
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until they turn a beautiful golden color. Keep an eye on them in the final minutes to avoid overbaking.
Transfer the biscuits to a wire rack and allow them to cool slightly. These biscuits are especially delicious when enjoyed warm.
Tips for a Personalized Touch
- Add seeds for extra crunch: Incorporate flax, sesame, or chia seeds into the dough for added texture and flavor.
- Chocolate lovers’ variation: Mix in dark chocolate chips to create a more indulgent biscuit.
- Customize the size: Adjust the size of the biscuits to suit your preference, whether bite-sized for snacking or larger for a satisfying treat.
Serving Suggestions
Pair these biscuits with a hot beverage like tea or coffee for a comforting snack. They also make a lovely addition to a breakfast spread or a sweet gift when packaged in a decorative tin.
