Easiest-Biscuits Ever
Are you rushed off your feet, time poor, or perhaps the little ones won't leave you alone long enough to bake? Then you are going to love our easiest ever biscuits recipe. With little effort, and in just minutes, you can whip up some scrummy biscuits on the double when hungry little fingers are searching for munchable meals.
This recipe is perfect for baking with the kids. All you need is some store-bought sweet short pastry sheets, a set of our cutters and you are all set! Our versatile fruit and veg cutters are great for cutting fruits, veggies, cheese, wraps, and making cool-looking biscuits from short pastry.
You can make a short pastry from scratch, and we have included the recipe below for your reference, should you wish to. However, if you're like me and need something in a pinch, try using store-bought pastry instead. Punch out a bunch of shapes onto a baking tray, and in minutes, you have crispy little shortbread cookies that the little ones will gobble up if you don't put a lock on the cookie jar.
Want to up your game? Why not make some Shrewsbury's? A little bit of jam added will make them even more desirable for the little ones.
This is where our cutters come in handy. Cut the base of the biscuit with a glass (or anything round) and use star, heart, bunny, etc. shapes to cut out the centre of the Shrewsbury. (No wastage here - cook the cutouts too to make mini biscuits.) It's so simple that even little hands can be “employed” on the factory floor to stamp out all the shapes. A few minutes in the oven to turn them golden brown and out come crunchy, melt-in-your-mouth, cute, sweet little treats. How easy is that?
