How to make Milo biscuits

Before making a start on the recipe, prepare by preheating the oven to 180c. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper and set aside.

This recipe can be made using either a stand mixer with a flat beater attachment, or a large mixing bowl and electric hand held beaters.

First add the softened butter and white sugar, and beat until the butter is light and fluffy. Next, add the egg and beat once again until the egg is well incorporated with the butter mixture.

Finally, add the self raising flour and Milo and mix on a low speed until well combined and a dough has formed.

Take teaspoons full of biscuit dough and roll into balls. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking trays, and press down gently with a fork.

Place the trays in the preheated oven and bake for around 10 minutes, or until the biscuits start to colour slightly. the biscuits will still feel cool to touch at this stage, but will firm up as they cool down.

For biscuits that are chewier, reduce the baking time slightly. For firmer crispier biscuits, bake for an extra few minutes.

Leave the biscuits to cool completely on the baking trays before serving. Store the biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature. These biscuits can also be frozen.

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.
