Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 150°C.
  2. Place the butter and margarine in a mixing bowl and beat well. Add the sugar and beat together until light in colour and texture. Stir in the Loprofin Baking Mix and any of the optional flavours.
  3. Using one hand, squeeze the mixture until it comes together, adding sufficient water to give a manageable dough. Transfer to a surface lightly dusted with Loprofin Baking Mix and knead the dough for about 30 seconds or until smooth.
  4. Roll out the dough to about 1⁄2 cm thickness on a surface lightly dusted with Loprofin Baking Mix. Cut into desired shapes (e.g. circles, ovals, animal shapes or others).
  5. Transfer the biscuits to lightly greased baking trays and bake at 150°C for 20-25 minutes until pale golden in colour.
  6. Remove from the baking trays whilst still warm. Cool on a wire rack.
