Fig and Fennel Biscuits
INGREDIENTS
- 150g Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 1 Egg
- 3/4 cup Plain flour
- 1/2 tspn Baking Powder
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 3/4 cup Sultanas
Cream the butter and sugar in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Add the egg and mix in well. Place the flour, baking powder and oats in a separate bowl, then mix into the wet ingredients. Finally fold in the sultanas and diced paste.
Roll out the dough into a log five centimetres in diameter, wrap in cling film and place in the fridge for 1 hour or until firm. Preheat a fan forced oven to 170C.
Cut through the plastic film and dough log to create one centimetre thick discs. Remove the plastic wrap and place the biscuits onto a lined baking tray, keeping a little room between each biscuit as they will spread slightly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the biscuits are pale golden colour. Place onto a cooling rack for a few minutes. Wonderful served warm.
