Ingredients :

• 80 grams of soft butter
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 100 grams of sugar (1/2 cup)
• 1 egg
• 65 ml milk
• 320 grams of wheat flour (1+2/3 cups +1 tbsp)
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder

Instruction :

1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees.

2. In a bowl or food processor, add butter, vanilla essence, plain flour, baking powder, and raw sugar. You can use a food processor to blitz the mixture, or if you prefer a hands-on approach, manually rub the ingredients into the butter with your fingertips until it becomes crumbly. Both methods work just as well!

3. Now, add the egg and water to the mixture. If using a food processor, blitz the mixture again until a smooth dough forms. Alternatively, you can mix the ingredients with a wooden spoon until the dough comes together.

4. Cover the dough with cling wrap and place it in the refrigerator to chill for 15-20 minutes. Chilling the dough will make it easier to work with and will result in better-shaped biscuits.

5. Once the dough has chilled, take it out of the refrigerator and flour a board. Roll out the dough until it’s around 4mm thick. Seniors may need some assistance with this step, so be sure to lend a helping hand.

6. Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they turn golden brown. Keep an eye on them to avoid overcooking.

There you have it – a simple and scrumptious biscuit recipe perfect for seniors and aged care centers. Baking these biscuits will not only fill the air with a delightful aroma but also create lasting memories and moments of joy.
