I found a recipe for "breakfast biscuits" which looked somewhat like English muffins. I couldn't be more wrong.. I later found out that English muffins are supposed to be cooked in a pan on the stove, not an oven, and they are made with yeast..
Anyway, these little uglies - I call them lazy cookie bread cos they break open like cookies - were quite bland but perfect with peanut butter! Or bah kwa! :p
Lazy cookie bread
(makes 10-12)
Ingredients:
250g all-purpose flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
75g unsalted butter
180ml cold 1% fat milk
Special equipment:
Cookie cutter, if you're cutting
Directions:
1) Mix flour, baking powder and salt.
2) Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3) Preheat oven to 250°C. Some people preheat at the beginning but I'm slow and don't want to waste energy.
4) Make a well in flour mixture and pour in the milk. Stir with a spoon or fork until the dough clings together. It should look like a glooey mess at this point but don't worry.
5) Lightly flour a rolling mat or a clean surface, and knead gently for some 10 to 12 strokes. From here, you have two options: divide up the dough into 12 portions and shape each into a round disc about 1 cm thick, or roll out the dough to about 1 cm thick and cut with a 5 cm cookie cutter. I opted for the first option - faster but (a lot) less pretty :p
6) Bake on an un-greased baking sheet in the oven until golden, which took about 16 min for me. But I started checking from 12 min.
