Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 tablespoons coarse sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon almond extract
- 1 cup high-quality unsalted butter, room temperature
- Preheat and prepare baking area: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
- Cream butter and extracts: In a separate bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter with the vanilla and almond extracts until smooth and creamy, ensuring the extracts are evenly incorporated.
- Combine wet and dry mixtures: Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing gently with a spatula or your hands until a crumbly dough forms. Be careful not to overwork it to maintain the tender texture.
- Shape the dough: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a flat disc about ½ inch thick. Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out rounds and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.
- Apply coarse sugar: Sprinkle the tops of each biscuit with the coarse sugar to add a delicate crunch and a touch of sparkle once baked.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the biscuits for 18-22 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the biscuits feel firm to the touch.
- Cool: Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve and store: Enjoy the biscuits fresh, or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
Notes
- Use room temperature butter for easier mixing and a better texture.
- Do not overmix the dough to avoid tough biscuits.
- Adding the coarse sugar on top gives a nice crunch and decorative finish.
- Store biscuits in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
- Almond extract is optional but adds a lovely subtle nutty note.
