• 125g/4oz butter

• 50g/2oz caster sugar

• 175g/6oz plain flour

• 1 tbsp milk

• Extra strong teabag

Preheat oven 180’C/Gas mark 4.

​

Rub butter, caster sugar and flour together in a big bowl until it looks like breadcrumbs, I used to call this tickling with the boys.  Now we just add it all to the food processor and pulse it.

​

Heat a small cup of milk and add the teabag and allow to steep.

​

Add a tablespoon of milk to your bread crumbs and knead for a minute or two until it forms a smooth ball of dough.  Cover with clingfilm and pop in the fridge for half an hour.

​

Turn onto a floured surface and roll out the dough until it’s 1cm thick.  Cut out biscuit shapes using a biscuit cutter.

​

Reshape the scraps and cut more shapes. Place the biscuits on a baking tray and prick with a fork.  We actually stamped with a star shaped cookie cutter to make them more festive.

​

Bake for 15 minutes before placing on to a wire rack to cool.

​

You can store them in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

​

Serve with a cup of Typhoo tea!
