Spiced Christmas Biscuits – gluten free
Ingredients
- 2½ cups gluten free plain flour
- ½ cup fine polenta
- 4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2/3 cup dark brown sugar
- 2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 teaspoon mixed spice
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cloves
- ½ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
- 80g polyunsaturated margarine
- 2 eggs
- 3 tablespoons cold water
Method
- Preheat oven to 170°C. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper
- Place dry ingredients and margarine in a food processor and blitz until fine crumbs appear
- Add eggs and water, combine on low speed until dough just comes together
- Turn dough onto a lightly floured (gluten free) surface and knead gently into a ball
- Divide the dough into 2 balls. Roll out each portion between 2 sheets of baking paper, keep the dough quite thick as this gives the biscuit a softer centre
- Use a Christmas cutter to make desired shapes
- Place biscuits on prepared trays, bake for approximately 10-12 minutes, or until just crisp
- Biscuits will keep for weeks in a sealed storage container.
