  • Preparation: 20 min
  • Cooking: 30 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (71.7 g)
  • Difficulty: Easy
  • Diets: Vegetarian
  • Contains: dairy, gluten

Ingredients

  • 40 g Flour, all-purpose
  • 12 g Butter, unsalted
  • 10 g Sugar
  • 8 g Milk, whole
  • 1 g Baking powder
  • 0.5 g Cinnamon
  • 0.2 g Salt

Method

  1. Rub the butter into the flour, then work in the sugar, milk, baking powder, cinnamon and salt to a firm, smooth dough.
  2. Roll into small balls a little smaller than a walnut and flatten slightly on a lined tray.
  3. Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 10-12 minutes until just set but still pale.
  4. Reduce the oven to 120°C (250°F); once the biscuits are cool enough to handle, split or slice them in half.
  5. Return them to the oven, cut-side up, for a further 25-30 minutes until completely dry and crisp all the way through.
  6. Cool completely; kammerjunkere should be hard and dry, traditionally crumbled into cold buttermilk (koldskål) or øllebrød. Makes 1 serving (about 6 small biscuits); multiply the ingredients by 5 for a full batch.
