- Preparation: 20 min
- Cooking: 28 min
- Makes: 1 serving (30 g)
- Difficulty: Easy
- Diets: Vegetarian, Dairy-free
- Contains: gluten, honey
Ingredients
- 20 g Flour, all-purpose
- 10 g Honey
Method
- Makes 1 small biscuit (about 30 g); multiply as needed for a full batch of molded biscuits.
- Warm the honey gently until runny, then work in the flour to a very firm, smooth dough stiff enough to hold a stamped pattern.
- Press the dough firmly into a floured carved wooden mold, or shape by hand into a flat disc and score a pattern with a knife.
- Turn out onto a lined tray and bake at 150 °C (300 °F) for 25-30 minutes until firm and deep golden brown.
- Cool completely on the tray; the biscuit hardens further as it cools and keeps for weeks in an airtight tin.
