A Family Favorite

This recipe has been a real winner in our family, especially because we have to work around dairy allergies. Finding simple treats that everyone can enjoy isn't always easy, so when I made these biscuits and they were a hit with the family, I knew I had to share the recipe.

They’re simple to make, lightly sweet and delicious with a cup of tea — and best of all, they’re dairy-free.

Ingredients:

Method:

Preheat your oven to 180°C.

Line a baking tray with baking paper.

In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened dairy-free butter and icing sugar until light and creamy.

Add the vanilla extract and mix well.

Add the corn flour and cake flour and mix until a soft dough forms.

If your dough feels a little soft, add a little more flour until it is easy to work with.

Use a tablespoon to scoop out portions of dough and form them into balls.

Place the dough balls onto the baking paper-lined tray, leaving a little space between each one.

Use the palm of your hand to gently flatten each ball directly on the baking paper.

Bake for approximately 15–20 minutes, or until the biscuits are lightly golden around the edges.

Once baked, allow the biscuits to cool slightly.

While they are still warm, gently coat them in castor sugar.

Allow them to cool completely before serving.

A Little Tip:

The dough should be soft but easy to shape. If it feels too sticky or soft, add a little extra flour at a time until you can comfortably form the balls.
