Almond and Raspberry Biscuits

I forgot to buy biscuits... and my sweet tooth was calling while I was finishing the second draft of my research proposal. So I quickly whipped up a batch of these. So easy and very tasty!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Almond and Raspberry Biscuits

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1/2 cup sugar

125g butter/marg

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla essence

Some Orange zest 

(though I used the juice of a clementine...)

3/4 cup Almond Meal

1 cup plain flour

Raspberries or jam

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Cream together sugar and fat, then slowly add the eggs and other wet ingredients.

Fold in dry ingredients

Spoon out onto baking tray in about 1 inch wide blobs (mine spread- beware!)

Put a raspberry or a small blob of jam into the middle

Mine made maybe 25. I'm not sure. I ate lots before counting!

Cook in oven at 190 til slightly browned.

Very tasty, but very moreish!

You could also add slivered almonds for an extra nut hit and a different texture.
