Biscuits for Tea.
How do i pick a good cafe? If my tea or coffee comes with a complimentary home-made biscuit. It means they care. That sweet addition to the usual hot drink makes for a whole different cafe experience, and one that you too can have at home!
The thing with these biscuits is, in my opinion, they've got to be butter based. No excuses people!
You can flavour them with whatever you like!
I only baked half the dough made in this recipe, that way i can keep the rest in the freezer for a fresh afternoon snack! Nuts-wise i used almonds, hazelnuts and pistachios but you can use whatever you like, or swap it for almond meal to make a less chunky version.
