Father’s Day Biscuits

method:

• Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6. Sift the plain flour and the wholemeal flour into a large food processor bowl. Add the sugar, ground almonds, baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt and the diced butter. Pulse until it resembles bread crumbs. Alternatively, rub the ingredients together by hand.
• Mix 1 tsp vanilla essence with 200ml milk and add gradually, pulsing the food processor until a soft dough is formed (you may not need all the milk). Alternatively, work the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients by hand, bringing together into a dough.
• Turn onto a lightly floured board, knead for 30 seconds, roll out to 3mm thickness and cut into 12 gingerbread men. Brush with milk, sprinkle with sugar and bake 10-12 minutes until golden. Cool, decorate and box up for Dad!
