biscuits

Hall stones (Anglo Saxon style shortbread)

Ingredients:

  • 100g butter

  • 50g honey

  • 1 egg

  • 200g bread flour

Method:

Blend together the butter, honey and egg.

Mix in the flour to form a stiff dough.

Tip out onto a lightly floured work surface, and knead together for several minutes.

Roll out the dough to about 1 cm thick, and cut into squares. Optionally, prick the tops with a knife.

Cook in the centre of a preheated oven at 180 degrees for about 10 - 15 minutes, until golden in colour.
