Ingredients and substitutions

• Butter – Salted butter was used in this recipe, but this can be substituted with unsalted butter. If using unsalted butter, consider adding a pinch of salt to the dough.
• Caster sugar – White sugar could be used in this recipe, however caster sugar dissolved easier into the butter.
• Egg – A large sized egg was used in this recipe.
• Self raising flour – If you don’t have any self raising flour on hand, substitute with a combination of 1 1/4 cups plain flour and 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder.
• Sultanas – The sultanas can be substituted with raisins, or omitted all together.
• Cornflakes – Use Kellog’s brand cornflakes, or any alternative brand.

Step by step instructions

Step 1

Use a stand mixer or mixing bowl with hand held beaters to make this dough. Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and beat until well combined. Gently mix through the self raising flour and sultanas until a dough forms.

Step 2

Place the crushed cornflakes in a shallow bowl. Roll tablespoons of biscuit mixture into balls. Roll the balls in the crushed cornflakes to evenly coat. Place the balls on baking trays lined with baking paper, and press down slightly.

Step 3

Bake the biscuits at 180c/160c fan forced for 20 minutes, or until lightly golden. Allow the biscuits to cool completely on the baking trays. Store the biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature.

Storage

Store these biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. These biscuits are also suitable for freezing. Freeze in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Defrost at room temperature before enjoying.
