These biscuits are perfect for afternoon tea. The recipe is out of Mum’s Recipe Book but I have spiced it up by adding Ginger Essential Oil to the Cream and some Cinnamon Essential Oil to the biscuit base.

I hope you enjoy these sweet and spicy treats.

What you will need:

Biscuits:

1/2 cup butter

1/4 cup icing sugar

1/2 cup Plain flour

1/2 cup SR Flour

1 teaspoon milk

2 drops Cinnamon Bark Essential Oil

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Cream:

3 tablespoons butter

6 tablespoons icing sugar

2 teaspoons ground ginger

2 drops Ginger Essential Oil

1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla

Method:

Grease trays.

Mix all biscuit ingredients together and mix well. I use the Thermomix – mix for 20-30 seconds at Speed 4. 

When mixed together, spoon teaspoons of the mixture onto the greased trays, leaving approximately 3 cm between each ball. Flatten the balls with a fork. 

Bake in the oven at 180 C for approximately 10-12 minutes. They should be a light golden colour. 

Cream the icing sugar, butter, Ginger, Vanilla and Ginger Essential Oil together until smooth. 

When the biscuits are cool, sandwich them together with the cream. 

Enjoy!
