Muscovado, Pecan and Sultana biscuits
These are a variation on ‘Reminder Cookies’. They are so moreish that I made them yesterday also and no I didn’t eat the lot but gave them to those in need via the church; something I have been asked to take part in once a month. It is for people who have been widowed or need some comfort. And what better comfort than tea and treats : ).
INGREDIENTS
100g/3.5oz muscovado sugar
125g/4.4oz softened unsalted butter
1 egg
220g/7.8oz gluten free self raising flour
75g/2.6oz sultanas
A handful of pecan nuts, broken into small pieces (next time I make these I will weigh)
Preheat the oven to 180C/356F
Mix the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy
Add the egg and a spoonful of flour to stop curdling
Mix in the remaining flour
Tip the sultanas and nuts stir in
Place heaped tablespoonfuls of the mixture onto a non stick baking tray (I line mine with baking paper)
Bake for 6 minutes before removing from the oven and lightly pressing the puffed up biscuits down with a spatula
Return to the oven for 3 minutes.
Remove from the oven and leave to cool on the baking sheet, otherwise the biscuits will crumble
eating them warm from the baking tray after 5 minutes of cooling is exquisitely delicious
