Johnson has been pestering me to make cookies or cakes these days (school holidays - nothing to do except playing computer games), so we decided to make "Pinwheel biscuits" today by rubbing-in method which is the easiest way to make biscuits (no whisking/creaming required). Got the recipe from my Secondary School Home Economics textbook (not sure whether Lena's remember this recipe, I photocopied for her when she was in Australia). I have doubled the quantity in the recipe in order to make more biscuits (ie, I use 200gm of flour instead of 100gm, etc as suggested in the recipe).
Basic Ingredients :
100 gm of plain flour
50 gm of butter
50 gm of sugar
1/2 egg (beaten)
vanilla essence
25 gm of milo/cocoa
Methods :
1. Shift flour into a mixing bowl.
2. Rub in the butter until mixture resemble breadcrumbs.
3. Add sugar & mix well.
4. Add egg, vanilla essence & mix to a soft dough.
5. Knead gently on a floured board with the fingertips till smooth.
6. Divide it into 2 portion.
7. Add the milo/cocoa to one portion.
8. Roll out the 2 portions into rectangles of the same size.
9. Place the chocolate piece on top of the plain piece & roll like a swiss roll.
10. Cut into pieces of about 0.5 cm thickness & bake on a greased baking sheet for 20-30mins in a very moderate oven.
