Butterscotch Biscuits

Source of Recipe

Scottish Tea-Time Recipes, Johanna Mathie


List of Ingredients

12 ounces Flour self-rising
4 ounces Margarine
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1 Egg
8 ounces Brown sugar
1 teaspoon Vanilla essence


Recipe

Set oven to 350F. Grease a baking sheet. Melt the sugar, margarine and vanilla essence together in a saucepan very gently over a low heat. Remove from the heat. When the mixture has cooled add the beaten egg and mix together. Sift the flour and salt into a bowl. Make a well in the centre and pour in the cooled egg/fat/sugar mixture. Knead into a stiff dough. This will be fairly dry, but it needs no extra moisture. Roll out the dough on a floured surface into 1/2 inch thickness and cut out the biscuits with a 2 inch biscuit cutter. Place on the baking sheet with sufficient space to allow them to spread. Bake for 20 minutes until light golden in colour.
