Christmas Biscuits



A favourite recipe for all the family to enjoy.
Because there is a egg white left over, I always make them with my Coconut Crunchy Bites.
  • 110 gr butter
  • 190 gr plain flour
  • 60gr walnuts
  • 90 gr sugar
  • pinch of salt
  • 3 cloves
  • 1 egg yolk

Pound the walnuts with the sugar and the cloves until they are finely ground. I do this in an electric grinder.
Mix all of the ingredients breaking the butter between your fingertips until the mix resembles fine crumbs. The biscuit mix should come together now, if it doesn't add a few tablespoons of milk.
Shape the biscuits into small walnut size balls, flatten slightly and place them on a baking tray.
Bake for 35-40 minutes at 160ÂșC, a medium oven. The biscuits should be cooked but still pale in colour.
