BUTTERSCOTCH BISCUITS RECIPE

The butter and brown sugar gives the Butterscotch Biscuits the butterscotch flavour. When you put icing on the Butterscotch Biscuits don't be fussy with it let it run down the sides as that way they look good and taste wonderful.

Butterscotch Biscuits Ingredients

2 eggs
6 oz butter
1/2 tsp salt
1 Tbs vinegar
1 cup brown sugar
2 1/2 cups plain flour
1 tsp vanilla essence
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 level tsp bicarb soda
1 cup walnuts chopped
1 cup unsweetened canned milk

For the Frosting:
4 oz butter
1 lb sifted icing sugar
1/4 cup boiling water

Butterscotch Biscuits Method

In a large bowl cream the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy and then add eggs and mix well. Flavour with vanilla and stir in vinegar and milk. Sift the flour, soda, baking powder and salt and add to the creamed mixture and mix well and then add the nuts. Drop dessertspoon fulls onto a greased shallow oven tray leaving a little room for the biscuits to spread. Bake the Butterscotch Biscuits in a moderate oven 350 degrees for around 15 minutes or until browned and firm to touch then cool.

For the frosting: Place the butter in a small saucepan and cook over medium heat until it turns a golden colour. Gradually add the icing sugar and enough boiling water to make a good consistency, the frosting should hold it shape. Spread a little on top of each of the Butterscotch Biscuits and add a piece of walnut if liked.

Enjoy your freshly made Butterscotch Biscuits!
