Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Melt the butter in a small pan, then allow to cool slightly. Tip all the dry ingredients into a bowl, with ½ tsp salt, then pour in the butter. Add 5-6 tbsp boiling water and combine to make a firm dough.

  • step 2

    Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface, then roll out until about 0.5cm thick. Cut into small squares, then bake for 12-15 mins until golden. Leave to cool for a few mins, then transfer to a wire rack and cool completely.

A really love recipe - having read the comments, I substituted the bicarb for baking powder (so no idea if it impacted the taste) and also added a generous 1/2 tsp of cayenne for a bit of heat. As I am testing out recipes for edible Christmas gifts, and have a vegan family member, I also…
