Pastry biscuits!

.        In this picture I am making what I call pastry biscuits. My brother is helping.  🙂

You use shortcrust pastry to make biscuits!

Here is my recipe for shortcrust pastry. 

Ingredients:

150g butter

300g plain flour

cold water

Preheat the oven to 180 fan. Put the butter and flour in a bowl. Rub the butter between your fingers until your mixture represents coarse sand. Add the water, about a table spoon at a time.  You can add more if needed. When your pastry has come together, leave it to chill in the fridge for about half an hour. 

1 egg, beaten

Roll out the dough and use cookie cutters to make shapes. Grease a baking tray and put your biscuits on. Beat an egg and egg wash your biscuits. Put them in the oven for about 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown.
