1, 2, 3 Super Easy Biscuits!

I call this my 1,2,3 super easy biscuit recipe as there are only 3 ingredients all in 100g quantities so it is easy to remember and hopefully you'll have the ingredients in the cupboard. They are super easy to make, perfect to do with children! The dough is soft and malleable and cuts easily, contains no raw egg so is perfect for snaffling!

The recipe comes from my favourite children's cookbook- The Ultimate Cooking Book by Jane Bull. It is a Dorling Kindersley one so is full of pictures and easy to follow step by step instructions, great for children of all ages! I'm not sure if it is still in print but I know she has had other children's baking/cooking books out recently that are worth checking out.

1, 2, 3 Super Easy Biscuits
Makes 24 small biscuits (totally depends though on your cutters, the thickness and how much of the biscuit dough you and your toddler/child eat!)

100g/4oz castor sugar,
200g/8oz butter/margarine,
300g/12oz plain flour.

1. Preheat the oven to 190C/Gas mark 5.
2. Rub all the ingredients together in a bowl and make into a ball.
3. Lightly flour the worktop and roll out the dough to your required thickness. Thin dough will make crispier biscuits, I personally like mine quite doughy. Cut out shapes and place onto a greased baking tray.
4. Bake the cookies for about 15 minutes until just starting to go golden brown. Cool on a wire rack and ice if desired!

Hope you enjoy some simple baking with your little (and big) ones!
