Milo Biscuits

I have adapted this recipe from original JessGarfield’s recipe.

120 gr butter

1/3 cup sugar

1/3 cup brown sugar

1 ¾ cup plain flour

1 ½ tea spoon baking powder

A pinch of salt

1 egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

½ cup Milo

Pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees C.

Mix flour, baking powder, salt and Milo together in a bowl and set aside.

Beat butter & sugar together until creamy then add egg and vanilla extract – beat until combined. Fold in the flour mixture.

At this point I like to rest my biscuit dough in the freezer for about 15 minute to make it easy to handle. Scoop one teaspoon of the dough at a time and roll it into a ball – wet you hands and the spoon first so the dough does not stick. Place the balls on the (cooking) paper lined baking sheet. Flatten them with the back of a fork and bake for about 13 -15 minutes.

This portion will yield 38-40 biscuits. I usually bake half at a time and shape the remaining dough into a log with cling film and freeze it for the following week. You can slice the frozen dough into rounds about ¾ cm thick.
