Marble Biscuits
Typed by Michael ZL1ABS
Recipe from my mother [Beverly Sheffield].
Ingredients
2 1/2 Cups (10 oz or 300g) plain Flour
2 Teaspoons (5 ml) Baking powder
1 Cup white Sugar
4 oz (100g) butter
1 Egg
3 Teaspoons baking Cocoa (for half of the dough)
2 drops Vanilla essence
Instructions
Cream butter and Sugar (I put both in a mixing bowl with another plastic
bowl underneath containing boiling water from a kettle, to slowly heat the
butter &
allow the sugar to be stirred in), add Egg and vanilla essence drops. Add
Flour and baking powder. Mix well (use large spoon). Roll out half the
plain dough on to a board into a square shape. Add the Cocoa powder to the
remaining dough and mix well. Then roll out the cocoa coloured dough to a
similar shape as the plain dough. Place the two "sheets" of dough, "one on
top of the other". Roll the dough into a cylinder. Cut slices of dough to
form the biscuits ready to place on the baking sheet. The biscuits will
have a "marbled pattern" of plain yellow dough and cocoa coloured dough.
Grease baking sheet (or line with parchment paper) and place biscuits
(Cookies for North Americans) on it for oven baking.
Bake for 15 minutes at 170 degrees Celsius or 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Children's fun biscuits
Depending on how the two colours of dough are layered, many patterns of
colour in the baked biscuits are achieved. If several alternating layers
are stacked, then cut (without rolling the stack), the result is a
"checkerboard" effect in the biscuit.
