Maidstone Biscuits

We haven't yet tried this recipe. But we'd love to hear about it if you do.

Maidstone Biscuits
 
Biscuits from what is probably an ancient traditional recipe. Popular with the Tudors when made with rose water.

Serves: 4+

100g butter
100g caster sugar
150g plain flour
50g ground rice and grated zest and juice of 1 orange
or 50g blanched almonds and 5ml rose water

Cream the butter and sugar together until pale and fluffy.
Fold in the flour, juice, zest and ground rice (or the flour, almonds and rose water) and mix to make a stiff dough.
Place in small heaps on a floured baking sheet.
Bake at 180°C (350°F) mark 4 for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown.
Cool on a wire rack.
Store in an airtight container.
