My German Family Honey Biscuits

Ingredients
• 500 grams white sugar
• 1 kilogram runny honey
• 4 eggs - well beaten
• 1 teaspoon allspice
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• quarter teaspoon ground cloves
• 4 teaspoons bicarbonate of soda
• 8 cups plain flour - Note 1
• 100’s and 1000’s

• Note 1 - more flour maybe need, the dough needs to be stiff

Method

Sift flour, spices, carb soda together in a large bowl. Add sugar, stir through flour mixture. Stir in the eggs. Finally add the honey. The mixture is now quite stiff, you may need to use your hand to get everything incorporated…if the mixture is not stiff, add more plain flour.
Cover bowl with plastic wrap and leave overnight, place in refrigerator

Remove bowl from refrigerator
Preheat oven 180 - 190 degrees Celsius Fan Forced oven or 190 - 200 degrees Celsius for non Fan Force

• Line 3 or 4 baking trays with parchment paper - Note 1
• Lightly flour bench - turn out dough, and roll out to a thickness of 1 centimetre.
• Cut into your desired shapes - sprinkle with 100’s and 1000’s and place on trays, leaving about 4 centimetres between each biscuit.
• Bake for approximately 12 minutes.
• Remove from oven allow to cool on trays, before removing to wire racks to completely cool

• Note 1 - depending on the size of your chosen shape, as to how many trays needed.

I use a 5 centimetre square cutter and usually make around 3 trays

I use Keens Mustard Powder, which has been around for years and years and they also make Keens Curry Powder. You can buy it from Coles or Woolworths.

Also Clive of India is nice also but any curry flavour I love

So glad you enjoyed them…my family prefer their honey biscuits on the fat side - better for dunking in their tea or coffee
