Bay Biscuits

• I came across this recipe for rich buttery biscuits flavoured with bay leaves, which sounded interesting.
• You use dried bay leaves.
• I think they are super.

Ingredients

• 200g plain flour
• 100g butter
• 100g granulated sugar
• 3 egg yolks
• 3 tablespoons of water (approx.)
• 2 dried bay leaves

Method

• Pre-heat the oven to GM4 – 180ºC.
• Grease some baking trays.
• Take a tablespoon of sugar out of the 100g.
• Grind with the bay leaves.
• *
• Rub the butter into the flour to get breadcrumbs.
• Mix in the sugar and the bay leaves and sugar.
• Slowly add the egg yolks and enough water to make a stiff dough.
• Roll out thinly on a floured board.
• Cut out circles using a 7.5cm round cutter.
• Bake for around 12 minutes.
• Leave to cool on a wired rack.
