Shrew berry biscuits
1/2 cup caster sugar
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 egg
1 1/2 cups flour
Pinch of salt
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup raspberry jam
1. Heat oven to 180* c. Line one baking tray with nonstick baking paper. Place butter, sugar and vanilla in a bowl and beat until thick and pale, then beat in egg.
2. Sift flour, salt, water and baking powder into the butter mixture and stir to combine. Turn mixture out onto a board and knead lightly to bring together as a firm dough. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill for 10 minutes.
3. on a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to 3mm thick. Cut out any shape with a biscuit cutter and place on prepared baking tray. Cut out and remove smaller circles from the centre of half the biscuit circles.
4. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool. Sandwich biscuits together with raspberry jam and leave to set.
Here's how mine turned out. I also had a helper with me and she helped me soo much!
P.S I cut them in half so we had more bikkies.

No Yeast biscuit texture bread! 😊
Ingredients:
1/3 cup of extra virgin olive oil
3 cups all purpose flour (I used whole wheat flour)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt, preferably sea salt1 cup of warm water
Method
- Heat the oven to 375 and grease an oven proof dish or skillet – 8-9″ is probably best.
- Put the flour, baking powder, and salt in a food processor. Turn on the machine and slowly add the olive oil and most of the water.
- Process for 30 seconds. The dough should roll into a ball and barely sticky. If it hasn’t come together yet, add remaining water a tablespoon at a time, processing for 5 seconds each time. If you want to add herbs, cheese, whatever, to the dough, do it now.
- Put the dough into the pan and flatten it until the dough fits to the edges. Flip and press again. Cover tightly with foil and bake.
- After 20 minutes, remove the foil and sprinkle the top with coarse seat salt and herbs (if you like). Bake for another 20 minutes. The top will be golden and it will spring back when touched.
- I used load pans and added olive oil plus some olive oil to dip and they were pretty good
