Toasted-flour biscuits

Name: Toasted-flour biscuits
Prep time: 2 h 18 min
Cook time: 25 min
Total time: 2 h 43 min
Yield: 25 biscuits
Cuisine: French
Ingredients: 250 g flour; 100 g butter; 125 g caster sugar; 2 eggs; 2 pinches salt; 20 g beaten egg

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.

Keeping: Several days in an airtight tin.
