EASIEST EVER BISCUITS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and line a baking sheet with baking parchment. Put the butter in a bowl and beat it with electric beaters until soft and creamy. Beat in the sugar, then the egg and vanilla, and finally the flour to make a dough. If the dough feels a bit sticky, add a little bit more flour and knead it in.
• Pull pieces off the dough and roll them out to about the thickness of two £1 coins on a floured surface. The easiest way to do this with small children is to roll the mixture out on a baking mat. Cut out shapes using a 9cm biscuit cutter, or a use the rim of a small glass and peel away the leftover dough around the edges. Press some clean toys gently into the biscuits, making sure you make enough of a mark without going all the way through. Re-roll off-cuts and repeat.
• Transfer the whole mat or the individual biscuits to the baking sheet and bake for 8-10 mins or until the edges are just brown. Leave to cool for 5 mins, then serve. Will keep for three days in a biscuit tin.

DUTCH OVEN BISCUITS

Steps:

• Lightly grease a 14" dutch oven or line with parchment paper.
• Preheat to 500 degrees. This is a hot oven so use lots of coals on the bottom and the top to preheat. Be sure to remove most of the bottom coals just before you begin to bake the biscuits or you'll burn the bottoms.
• In a mixing bowl, sift together the dry ingredients.
• Cut in the shortening with a pastry blender, or two knives. Your done when there are little balls of dough about the size of a pea.
• Pour in all of the milk at once. Stir with a fork until just mixed. Too much mixing will release the gluten and make a heavy biscuit. The dough will be quite wet but able to retain its shape.
• Use a soup spoon and drop the biscuits into the dutch oven. Give each biscuit a little room to grow.
• Place the lid on loaded heavy with hot coals. Place the oven back on a bed of just a very few coals. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Remove and serve immediately with lots of butter and sweet jam.
