Ingredients
- 175 g plain white flour
- 50 g semolina
- 1½ tsp vanilla bean paste
- 50 g half spoon granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 lemon zest
- 28 g low fat margarine
- 1 large egg
Directions
- Preheat oven to 150°C, (fan 130°C, gas mark 2). Place the flour and semolina in a mixing bowl.
- Add the vanilla bean paste to the beaten egg.
- Add the sugar, baking powder and lemon zest to the flour.
- Mix in the low fat margarine and sufficient egg to form a soft dough. You may need to add a little milk to help the mixture bind.
- Place the dough onto a floured surface and split into 4 parts. Roll each part into a long sausage shape and place onto a non-stick baking tray, spaced apart.
- Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and carefully lift the dough onto a chopping board. Using a heavy chopping knife slice the dough at a 45 degree angle at 2cm (1 inch) intervals.
- Place the cut biscuits back onto the baking tray and cook for a further 15 minutes until crisp. Allow to cool then store in an air tight container.
