Ijzerkoekjes (Iron-plate biscuits)

Chris Loufte

The iron baking plate pattern gives the biscuit its distinctive look. You could cook these in a cast-iron pan or a hot plate.

Ingredients

500 g	Flour
250 g	Butter
300 g	Caster sugar
2 tsp	Cinnamon
1	Eggs
1 pinch	Salt

Directions

1. Mix all ingredients together by hand to form a solid dough.
2. Store the dough in fridge for 20 minutes.
3. Roll out until 6mm-thick and cut into oval shapes. (Use an oval cookie cutter around 8cm long, 5cm across).
4. Heat your baking plate. This is a bit like making pikelets, you will know when you get the right temperature by testing a little of the dough.
5. Cook few minutes on both sides until golden brown, but make sure you don't burn them.
6. Let them cool off and enjoy with your coffee at morning tea.
