spiced maple biscuits


Here is a recipe for a batch of delicious biscuits I made this afternoon. Enjoy!


Spiced Maple Biscuits

125g butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon mixed spice
1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
2 teaspoons boiling water
1 1/2 cups plain flour

maple icing
1 cup icing sugar
3 tablespoons maple syrup

Preheat oven to 180˚C. Place the butter, sugar, maple syrup and mixed spice in a saucepan over medium heat and stir until melted and smooth.
Place the bicarbonate of soda and water in a bowl and stir to combine. Add the butter mixture and stir to combine. Add the flour and mix until smooth. Spoon 2 tablespoons of the mixture at a time onto baking trays lined with non-stick baking paper, allowing room to spread. Bake for 12-14 minutes or until the biscuits are golden and firm around the edges. While the biscuits are baking, make the maple icing. Place the icing sugar and maple syrup in a bowl and whisk until well combined.
Cool biscuits on wire racks. Drizzle over icing and allow to set.
Makes 12.
