  • About

These biscuits don’t sound particularly exciting, but they are among the most delicious ones I know. They keep very well for two to three days in an airtight tin.

Ingredients

  • 4 oz/112 g butter
  • 4 oz/112

Method

Beat the butter with the caster sugar and golden syrup until fluffy, then beat in the flour and bicarbonate of soda. Mix in the sultanas. Roll the dough into walnut-sized balls and arrange them on greased baking sheets.

Bake at 350°F/190°C/Gas Mark 5 for 15 minutes
