Quick cinnamon flat biscuits

This is probably the most easy and quick recipe I know for biscuits. The aroma and the taste of the cinnamon makes them really delicious and if you store them in a metal box in a dry place they can keep fresh for many days. Try them out with some Greek (or Turkish) coffee, you'll be amazed of how perfectly well they match together!!


Recipe of Fotis Chryssanthidis,
a promising young pastry chef in Greece
"BHMAgourmet" magazine of "TO BHMA" newspaper

Ingredients (for about 500-600gr.):
225gr. muscovado sugar
130gr. unsalted butter
1 medium egg (about 50gr.)
300gr. of all-purpose flour
1 tbsp of baking soda
15gr. of ground cinnamon

Method:
Preheat the ove to 160-170°C.

In the bowl of a food processor beat all the ingredients together, with the appropriate tool, until you have a well blended dough. Transfer the bowl with the dough in the fridge and leave to rest for about 1 hour.

Lay a couple of baking sheets with baking paper.

Dust a clean surface with some flour, transfer the dough on it and shape into a smooth ball.

With a rolling pin roll the dough out into a disc, no more than 3mm thick. Using a sharp knife or a cookie cutter cut the dough into square (or other shape) bisquits.

Transfer the bisquits on the baking sheets leaving a bit of space between them. Put in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes.

When ready, take out of the oven and leave them to cool on racks before you store them. They can stay fresh if stored in tin boxes in a dry place.
