All-purpose biscuit dough

[tysolna]

... so I don't have to go looking all over the internet for the basic recipe.

- equal amounts of butter and flour
- half the weight of flour in sugar (ie, 250g butter, 250g flour, 125g sugar)
- pinch of baking powder
- 1 egg
- flavourings / spices as wanted

Tried flavourings:
- lemon and coriander
- chopped dates and honey
- gingerbread spicing
- lemon and gin

Will continue to add. Caraway should be good, too.

And now WE won't have to look all over the internet for the basic recipe, either.

You mean biscuit like a cookie/cracker sort of thing, not biscuit like a non-yeasty, non-sweetened, not-quite-scone bread roll thingummy?
Just checking.

(UK/US cooking conversations can be very confusing.)

:P indeed :D

Like a cookie / cracker thing of the shortbread-y type. Simple, endlessly variable, effective.

Hm. Never tried a savoury version...

I'm no expert (obviously!), but I can't imagine going wrong with cheese. Cheese alone, cheese & onion, cheese & herbs, cheese & chicken (y'know, broth in the batter, not actual chicken pieces, but... well, you're the chef).

I have plenty of ideas, of course, but executing them is entirely another matter. ;p
