Honey Biscuits (Cookies) image

This is my Mum's recipe for traditional Xmas biscuits. Usually given as presents. They are a 'Barossa Deutsch' recipe, which means they started as a German recipe, brought over with the settlers of South Australia's Barossa Valley, and have been adapted over the years. Makes a large quantity, but last for months in a sealed container.

Time 2h30m

Yield 80-100 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 lbs honey, warmed (just under 1kg)
1 lb sugar (500gm)
4 eggs, well beaten
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
4 teaspoons bicarbonate of soda
3 7/8 lbs plain flour (approx 2kg)

Steps:

  • In a very large bowl thoroughly combine all ingredients except flour.
  • Gradually stir in flour until you get a stiff mix that is neither dry nor sticky. Quantity of flour will vary every batch.
  • Cover bowl with lid or plastic wrap and set aside overnight.
  • Next day. Preheat oven to moderate (180 degrees Celsius). Now, either roll out and cut out shapes or roll into balls. Press halved, skinned almonds onto balls. Either way, allow enough room between biscuits for slight spreading.
  • Baking time will vary depending on thickness of biscuit. The biscuit will have a nice golden colour when done and still be soft. Allow to set for a couple of minutes on tray before putting onto a wire rack to cool. A thin biscuit will be crisp whilst a 'ball' will be softer.

I'm not a huge fan of honey, but I actually really liked these biscuits. The honey flavor is subtle and not overpowering. The biscuits are also very soft and fluffy.

Overall, I thought these honey biscuits were pretty good. They were easy to make and had a nice flavor. I would definitely make them again, but I might try a different recipe next time.

The biscuits were a bit dry and crumbly. I think I might have overmixed the dough. Next time I'll be sure to mix it just until the ingredients are combined.

These biscuits are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred them with less honey or maybe even a different sweetener.

I was pleasantly surprised by how well these biscuits turned out. I'm not much of a baker, but I was able to follow the recipe easily and the biscuits came out looking and tasting great. I'll definitely be making these again.
