UPDATE: Mary Berry has just revealed a quick and easy recipe for Fork Biscuits that can be made in under 15 minutes, perfect for festive baking with kids this Christmas season. The renowned chef, celebrated for her simple yet delicious recipes, offers a delightful way to engage in holiday spirit while fundraising.
Just in time for the holidays, these three-ingredient biscuits are ideal for those looking to whip up festive treats without spending hours in the kitchen. Made with butter, caster sugar, and self-raising flour, these biscuits can be prepared quickly and are ready to enjoy in no time.
The recipe, originally published in Mary Berry’s Ultimate Cake Book from 1994, accommodates busy schedules. With the holiday season approaching, this recipe could be the perfect addition to any celebration or local fundraiser. The ease of preparation allows parents to involve their children in the baking process, fostering creativity and fun.
To make these delightful biscuits, simply beat 100g of softened butter with 50g of caster sugar, mix in 150g of self-raising flour, and form the dough into walnut-sized balls. A quick flattening with a fork gives them their signature look. Baking at 180C (or 350F) for about 15 to 20 minutes results in perfectly pale golden biscuits.
As the biscuits bake, the aroma fills the kitchen, creating an inviting holiday atmosphere. Once cool, they are sturdy enough to be packed into festive treat bags, making them a hit at any gathering.
Berry encourages variations of the classic Fork Biscuits by swapping in cocoa powder for a chocolatey twist or adding grated lemon or orange rind for a citrusy kick.
