  1. Preheat oven to 170 degrees celsius (fan-forced).
  2. Cream butter and sugar on high speed in a stand mixer.
  3. Add egg yolk and beat into mixture.
  4. Add sifted flour and cinnamon, and salt and fold to combine.
  5. Warm honey so that it's runny (10-20 seconds in the microwave should work well) and add to mixture.
  6. Beat again until well combined.
  7. Place mixture into fridge for 10-15 minutes (or until it's just firm enough to roll into balls).
  8. Mix together additional sugar and cinnamon.
  9. Roll mixture into walnut-sized balls (about 3cm in diameter) and coat in sugar and cinnamon mixture.
  10. Space balls of mixture apart on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Remember to leave enough room for the biscuits to spread.
  11. Place trays in oven and bake for 15 minutes or until a light golden colour.

Notes

  • Tips for making Honey Biscuits:
  • Start with good quality butter that you've left out of the fridge for at least half an hour.
  • Roll balls of the biscuit mixture in cinnamon sugar and make sure they're about the size of a walnut (roughly 3cm in diameter).
  • Remember to leave room for your biscuits to spread on the tray once they're in the oven.
  • Makes 24 biscuits.
  • Store in an airtight container.
