Simple 3-Ingredient Butter Biscuits

If you crave a sweet treat but don't want to spend hours in the kitchen, these 3-ingredient butter sugar biscuits are your solution. With just butter, sugar, and flour, you can create delightful biscuits that are perfect for a quick snack or dessert.

Ingredients:

1. Butter: 1 cup of unsalted butter, softened at room temperature.

2. Caster Sugar: 1/2 cup.

3. Flour: 2 cups of all-purpose flour.

Instructions:

1. Preheat Your Oven:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Make sure it's fully heated before you place the biscuits in.

2. Cream the Butter and Sugar:

In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar. Use an electric mixer or beat by hand until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.

3. Add the Flour:

Gradually add the flour to the butter and sugar mixture. Continue mixing until the dough comes together. It should be soft and slightly crumbly but easily formable into a ball.

4. Shape the Biscuits:

Scoop up small portions of the dough and roll them into balls or flatten them slightly to your desired biscuit shape or use a cookie maker. Place the biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet. You can use a fork to create a crisscross pattern on the tops of the biscuits if you like.

5. Bake:

Place the baking sheet with the biscuits into the preheated oven. Bake for about 12-15 minutes or until the edges of the biscuits are golden brown.

6. Cool and Serve:

Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack. They will firm up as they cool.

7. Optional: Add a Sugar Topping

You can sprinkle some additional sugar on top of the biscuits before baking to create a sweet, crunchy crust.

Serving Suggestions:

Enjoy your butter and sugar biscuits with a cup of tea or coffee. They make a lovely treat for afternoon tea or a quick dessert after a meal.

Tips and Variations:

• Add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavour.

• For a citrusy twist, you can add lemon or orange zest to the dough.

• To make these biscuits even more indulgent, you can drizzle them with a simple powdered sugar glaze.

These 3-ingredient butter sugar biscuits are a delightful and quick way to satisfy your sweet tooth. With minimal effort and maximum flavour, you'll want to make them again and again. Enjoy!
