Curly Cooks: Honey Biscuits

When I was young, my mum (I'm assuming) made up this recipe for biscuits with cinnamon and honey and they've always been a family favourite. They're soft, cakey, delicious biscuits and everyone will love them.

To start off, mix up your caster sugar and butter together. Once cohesive, add the honey and the egg:

Then all of the dry ingredients (self raising flour and cinnamon):

Until you have a thick batter that looks like this:

Grab a teaspoon-ful of dough and roll it into a bowl like so:

Roll it in a mixture of cinnamon and sugar until coated:

Then place the balls on a baking tray. Do try to make them a bit more evenly shaped than I did, so they cook more evenly and don't look all different sizes!

Cook them in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, and leave to cool (or they'll get stuck to the tray).

And that's it! I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

Curly Cooks: Booboos

Since we're all stuck inside for lockdown, many people are currently baking to pass the time, including me! So, Curly Cooks is a series on the various items that I'm making while on lockdown, most of which will carry personal stories. Today's recipe is one I invented as a child: Booboos. Curly Cooks: Booboos Jump to recipe When I was younger, I used to enjoy watching my mum bake all manner of sweet treats for my brother and me. At maybe three years old, I decided to invent a recipe of my own, which ended up being named Booboos. Now as a three year old I obviously didn't understand the necessities and intricacies of baking, so I just wrote a bunch of random baking words that I knew and my mum interpreted it to create these biscuits. This is my original recipe card: Shocking penmanship and spelling I know, and a flawless method. If you can't read my handwriting (unsurprising tbh), it says Resapy for Boo...
