Peanut Butter Biscuits

Ingredients:

Crunchy peanut butter           : 100 gm
Margarine                                : 50 gm
Demerara sugar                       : 100 gm
Egg                                          : 1 (large, beaten)
Whole wheat flour                  : 175 gm
Baking powder                        : 1 tsp

Preparation

 

1. Cream together the peanut butter, margarine and sugar, then add the beaten egg. Fold in the flour and baking powder and form into a stiff dough. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead lightly. Cover in clingfilm and chill for about 1 1/2 hours, until firmer and easier to handle.
2. Preheat the oven to 175 (deg C)/350 (deg F)/gas 4 and lightly grease two baking trays. Cut the dough into 18 slices and form each into a ball, then press lightly to flatten as you place them on the prepared baking trays. Dip a fork into a little flour and press it into the tops of the biscuits, then bake in the preheat oven for 15 to 20 mins. Cool slightly before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
