tielanFrom the Marie Claire cookbook zest by Michele Cranston, p197
cumin and lime biscuits (cookies)
6 tbsp unsalted butter
150g caster sugar
1tsp ground cumin
1tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp lime juice
grated zest of a lime
1 egg
150g plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
Preheat oven to 180C. Cream the butter and sugar, then fold in the cumin, vanilla, lime juice, lime zest, and egg. Sift in the flour and baking powder and stir together. Spoon the batter onto a baking sheet lined with baking paper - use 1 heapted tablespoon of mixture per biscuit. Bake for 12 minutes, or until golden brown, and allow to cool on a wire rack.
Serving suggestion: whipped cream and slices of ripe fruit such as figs, nectarines, peaches.
thoughts, notes, ideas: The biscuits were okay. I was hoping for more zing from the lime, and while the cumin added dimension, I'm not sure it's a dimension I particularly wanted. That said, I took the remaining biscuits over to some friends and they thought the biscuits were great, so they'd probably do for people who don't mind a little bit of adventurousness in their baked goods!
