Little Breton Biscuits

Preparation:

1. Preheat the oven to 160°C (320°F).

2. In a bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, and baking powder.

3. Add the egg, the butter cut into small pieces, and 2 tablespoons of milk.

4. Mix everything quickly with your hands until you get a firm dough that doesn’t stick to your fingers.

5. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.

6. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 5 mm (¼ inch) thick.

7. Cut out rounds with a cookie cutter.

8. Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

9. Brush the tops with the egg yolk mixed with the remaining 2 tablespoons of milk.

10. Using a fork, draw a crisscross or lined pattern on the surface.

11. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown.

12. Let cool before serving.

Tip:

Avoid overworking the dough — if you knead it too much, the biscuits may turn out tough!
