Ingredients
- 125 grams butter
- ½ cup caster sugar (superfine sugar) (125 grams)
- 1 egg (lightly beaten)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ cups SR flour (180 grams) (or 1 ¼ cups plain/all-purpose flour + 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder)
- 20 grams blanched almonds (one for each of the 16 biscuits)
Instructions
- Melt the butter over low heat. Bring to a simmer and cook until the butter turns a light brown colour and becomes frothy.
- Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes and then pour into a bowl and place into fridge for 20-30 minutes (or until syrupy but not set).
- Pre-heat the oven to 160 degrees celsius/320 degrees fahrenheit (fan-forced).
- Line baking trays with baking paper.
- Beat the butter and sugar until light and creamy. This should take about 2-3 minutes if using an electric mixer on med-high speed.
- Add egg and vanilla extract and beat again for about 1 minute.
- Stir through sifted flour.
- Roll tablespoons of mixture into balls. Place balls on tray, leaving enough room for biscuits to spread.
- Gently flatten the balls a little with two fingers held together. Gently press an almond into the centre of each biscuit.
- Bake for 18 minutes or until biscuits are a light golden colour.
- Allow to cool on baking tray for 5-10 minutes before transferring biscuits to a cooling rack to cool completely.
