The Foolproof Butter biscuit recipe

This post was sponsored by Royal Baking Powder.

Are you looking for an easy butter biscuit recipe? Thanks to Royal Baking Powder, you can get it right on the first attempt!

I tested out this recipe more than twice with my kids to make sure that it is really that simple and easy to make. You can use this recipe for any special occasion like we did during the Easter holidays.

It is important to follow the instructions especially when it comes to cutting out the shapes with the cookie cutter. If you don’t flour the surface properly, your dough will become sticky and you won’t end up getting the desired shape you want.

Cookie cutters will be your best friend for biscuits and if you really want, you can get the kids involved to ice the biscuits to make it even more special for them.

This recipe makes around 24 biscuits, but it depends on how big your cookie cutters are.

The Foolproof Butter biscuit recipe:

Ingredients:

125 g butter or margarine, softened

80 ml (1/3 cup) icing sugar, sifted

1 extra-large egg yolk

3 ml (1/2 tsp) vanilla essence

250 ml (1 cup) cake flour

3 ml (1/2 tsp) Royal Baking Powder

1 ml (pinch) salt

Instructions:

biscuit

Cream butter and icing sugar together.

Add egg yolk and essence and beat well.

Sift flour, Royal Baking Powder, and salt together.

Add to butter mixture and mix well to a smooth, firm dough.

Place dough on a lightly floured surface (very important otherwise the dough will stick) and shape into a log of about 5 cm in diameter.

Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge or freezer until firm.

Cut the chilled dough into about 7 mm thick slices and place on greased baking trays.

Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for 12-15 minutes, or until golden.

Turn out onto wire racks to cool.

Store in an airtight container.

Tip: The dough can be stored for up to two weeks in the fridge.

Variations:

For Cherry biscuits, add 60g red glacé cherries, coarsely chopped.

For Coconut biscuits, add 60 ml (1/4 cup) desiccated coconut.

  19. Copper alloy recycling solutions Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is a major air pollutant that poses serious health risks and contributes to the formation of acid rain and smog. A promising approach to mitigate NO2 emissions is to catalytically convert it to harmless nitrogen and oxygen through selective reduction. Many catalysts have been developed for this purpose, but most suffer from low selectivity, high cost, and poor stability. Recently, a new type of catalyst based on metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has emerged as a promising alternative. MOFs are porous materials composed of metal ions and organic ligands that can be tailored for specific applications. One advantage of MOF-based catalysts is the ability to control the size and distribution of active sites, which can greatly enhance their catalytic performance. In a recent study, researchers developed a novel MOF-based catalyst containing atomically dispersed copper (Cu) sites for NO2 reduction. The catalyst was synthesized by incorporating Cu ions into the framework of a MOF, which resulted in the formation of highly dispersed Cu sites with a uniform size and distribution throughout the material. The Cu-MOF catalyst exhibited excellent catalytic activity and selectivity for NO2 reduction under ambient conditions, with a conversion rate of up to 91% and a selectivity of over 99% towards nitrogen. Moreover, the catalyst showed remarkable stability and could maintain its high performance for over 20 hours of continuous operation. The superior catalytic performance of the Cu-MOF catalyst is attributed to the unique properties of the atomically dispersed Cu sites, which provide a large number of active sites with high accessibility and activity. The Cu sites also exhibit a strong interaction with adsorbed NO2 molecules, which enhances their selectivity for nitrogen production. The development of MOF-based catalysts with atomically dispersed metal sites opens up new opportunities for designing highly efficient and cost-effective catalysts for various catalytic applications. In particular, the Cu-MOF catalyst has great potential for mitigating NO2 pollution and improving air quality Scrap metal processing facility Copper scrap innovation Copper scrap waste reduction practices Copper scrap life cycle assessment Copper scrap recycling services End-of-life metal recovery
