Ingredients

50g demerara sugar
pinch salt
3 tbsp boiling water
125g Doves Farm Organic Einkorn Flour
2 tsp FREEE Baking Powder
50g butter or lard
flour

Line a baking tray with parchment and pre-heat the oven.
Measure the sugar and salt into a jug, add the water and stir until dissolved.
Put the flour and baking powder into a bowl and stir to combine.
Rub the fat into the flour to make very fine breadcrumbs.
Add the prepared sugar liquid and stir to make a soft dough.
Cover and chill the dough for 30 minutes.
Lightly flour the work surface and roll out the dough to the thickness of a pound coin.
Press the biscuit cutter into the dough and gently lift the dough circles onto the prepared baking tray.
Gather together the off-cuts, press them together to make another ball of dough and roll it out for further biscuits.
Prick each biscuit a few times with a fork.
Bake for 6-7 minutes, until lightly golden.
When cold store biscuits in a tin.
