                         Nannas Coffee Biscuits

 

1½ cups  self-raising flour

115g butter or margarine, room temperature
½ cup sugar
1 egg
1 tbsp. coffee essence

Preheat oven to 170°C

 

Using an thermomix speed 2, cream the butter and sugar. Add the egg and coffee essence, then work the flour into the mixture to form a (sticky) dough, on speed 6.

At this point, pop the biscuit dough into the fridge for about 10-15 minutes, as the next stage is a little easier when the mixture is cool.

Turn the biscuit dough out onto a well floured surface, lightly knead then roll out thinly (3-5mm), using a floured rolling pin.

Cut into biscuit shapes then place onto a greased baking tray ( use baking paper).

Bake for 9 to 12 minutes. Remove the tray from oven and place the biscuits onto cooling racks after about 5 minutes or so.
