Day 240: Tea and Biscuits

I discovered these tea biscuits back in December, but because the blogger is from Europe, the recipe was in grams. I had to do some converting, which wasn't exactly easy, but I must have gotten something right, because these tea cookies are super yummy and addictive. Another reason I like this recipe is because I make it without special tools, like a mixer, which I do not have here in California. Here is the recipe I use:

Put 10 tablespoons of butter in a mixing bowl and allow it to soften (at least an hour). Using a fork, mix in 1/2 cup packed brown sugar. Cut open 2 Earl Grey tea bags (really, you can use any tea you like) and pour into the mixing bowl, mix well. Mix in 1 egg. Next mix in 1 1/2 heaping cups of flour, in 1/2 cup intervals. Place bowl in fridge for at least an hour. When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Using a spatula, scrape biscuit dough out onto a floured surface. Roll into a cylinder and cut into half inch slices. Place on baking sheet--the cookies don't rise or spread much, so you can put them pretty close together. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Enjoy right out of the oven with a cup of Earl Grey tea.
