Shrewsbury Cinnamon Biscuits

[Sylvia]

I used to make these biscuits, but I have tried kneading the dough in the mixer with the dough hook, the results were disappointing compared to kneading by hand. I may try again and cut down the fat content.

Pre-heat oven to 325F, 170C
For the biscuits you will need:

8 oz. plain flour
4 oz. butter of margarine
4 oz. sugar
1 egg, well beaten
grated rind of 1 lemon
half a teaspoon of baking powder
1 tsp of powdered cinnamon.


Cream together the butter and sugar
Sieve together all the dry ingredients and add together with the egg
Knead to a smooth stiff paste
On a lightly floured board, roll out to a quarter inch thickness
Cut into rounds and bake on a lightly greased baking tin for 20 minutes.
Whilst still warm sprinkle tops with a mixture of cinnamon and caster sugar.
