Chai Spiced Biscuits
Overview
Makes approximately 24 biscuits depending on the size of cutter
This is a great recipe to have with a simple cup of tea. It is made using the spices one would use to make masala chai or spiced tea. If you cannot get hold of chai spices extract, you could use a quarter teaspoon of ground cinnamon, a pinch of ground black pepper and 2 ground cloves.
Ingredients:
125g butter, room temperature
65g caster sugar
10-12 Chai Spices Spice Drops https://holylama.co.uk/collections/spice-drops/products/chai-spices-natural-extract-tea-masala?variant=40107145724013
180g plain flour
Method:
In a small saucepan,
Preheat the oven to 160°C/320F/gas mark 3.
Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the Chai Spices drops.
Sift in the flour and roughly combine. Using your hands, bring the mixture together to form a dough. Wrap in clingfilm and refrigerate for 10 minutes. This helps easy rolling.
Remove from the fridge, roll out on a floured surface to around 3-5mm in thickness.
Using a cookie cutter, cut out your biscuit shapes. Place on a greased and lined baking sheet.
Bake for around 12-14 minutes.
Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Note: Don’t let your biscuits brown too much (a little golden tinge around the edges is fine). If you find they’re over-browning, turn your oven down and bake on the bottom rack for a little while longer.
aplace the evaporated milk and heat gently for 3 minutes.
Then add the cardamom seeds followed by the saffron, almonds and pistachio nuts and stir for 2 minutes.
Place in small shot glasses and serve hot or chilled.
