Honey and Almond Biscuits

Someone asked me if my almond biscuit recipe could be done with honey.  I hadn't even considered it.  Although once the thought had entered my mind I couldn't shrug it off and so, I began experimenting and have come up with this recipe.  It's not quite the same but still very yummy.

Honey and Almond biscuits

50g butter

2 tablespoons of honey

pinch of salt

50g ground almonds
150g wholemeal plain flour










Preheat oven to 200c

Mix the butter and honey together add the almonds and pinch of salt and mix in thoroughly. 

Stir in the flour until it's a ball of dough.

Dust a clean surface down with flour and a rolling pin too.  Roll the dough until it's about half a centimetre thick and cut with a cutter it should make about 15 -18 biscuits in all.

Put in the oven for 8 minutes, then leave to cool on a cooling rack for a few minutes before eating.  At first they seem very soft, but after cooling become wonderfully crunchy, like they should be.  When I first made them, I brought them out of the oven and thought they were never going to go hard but I was delighted when they did.

Hope this works for you too.
