Toasted-flour biscuits

---

This is a surprising biscuit recipe, in which the flour is not added in its normal state, but gently toasted beforehand in the oven.

This light dry-roasting changes the taste considerably, giving these biscuits notes of honey, coffee and even spices.

Their distinctive flavour goes very well with either tea or coffee.

Step by step recipe

---

Stage 1 - 2 min.

Toasting the flour

Preheat the oven to 360°F (180°C), if possible, without the fan.

Spread 250 g flour out on a baking sheet in a thin and even layer.

---

Stage 2 - 10 min.

Put in the oven for 10 minutes. Watch carefully - the flour should stay white, not take on any colour.

Take out of the oven and leave to cool.

---

Stage 3 - 5 min.

Make the biscuit dough

Put into a food-mixer bowl: 100 g butter (cut into small pieces), 125 g caster sugar, 2 eggs, 2 pinches salt and the toasted flour when cooled (tip this straight into the bowl).

---

Stage 4 - 3 min.

Mix until the dough is evenly mixed.

---

Stage 5 - 2 hours

Tip the dough out onto a large sheet of plastic film, roll it into a large "sausage" and wrap in the film.

Refrigerate the dough for 2 hours or overnight.

---

Stage 6 - 5 min.

Cooking

Preheat the oven to 360°F (180°C).

Unwrap the roll of dough and slice into rounds about 1/4 inch (5 mm) thick.

---

Stage 7 - 3 min.

Lay the slices on a baking sheet and glaze them.

---

Stage 8 - 15 min.

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, watching the colour carefully.

---

Stage 9

Leave to cool on a wire rack.

Remarks

As always with this type of biscuit, do take care not to overcook them - they should still be slightly soft.
