How to Make Midnight Biscuits

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F/Gas Mark 4).
  2. Cream together 1 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together 2 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon of your chosen spice (cinnamon, cocoa, ginger, etc.).
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a smooth dough forms.
  5. Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the dough to about 1/8 inch thickness.
  6. Use a 2-inch cookie cutter to cut out rounds. Place them on a greased baking sheet.
  7. Gather and knead the dough scraps, reroll, and cut out more biscuits until all the dough is used.
  8. Sprinkle the biscuits generously with 1/4 cup caster sugar.
  9. Bake for 8-9 minutes, or until the biscuits are just firm to the touch. (Do not overbake!)
  10. Let the biscuits cool on the baking sheet for a minute or two before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
