Sea Salt Water Biscuits Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Line two baking sheets with parchment. Place the flour, baking powder, butter and ½ tsp of the flaky salt in a food processor, then whizz for a minute until the butter is completely mixed with the flour. Add 4 tbsp water and pulse until the dough comes together. If it still feels dry, add 1 tsp more water and process until you have a soft but not sticky dough.
• Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle approximately 50 x 25cm and as thin as possible. Brush a little water over the surface of the dough, scatter 1 tsp salt flakes over and press in lightly. Prick the dough all over with a fork, then cut into 18 squares. Place on the prepared trays - don't worry if they stretch a bit. Bake for 10-15 mins until the biscuits feel dry and sandy but are still pale - they may still feel soft but will harden up when cooling. Transfer to a wire rack and leave until completely cool. Will keep in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and kosher salt in a large bowl and whisk together. Pour in the buttermilk and use a wooden spoon to stir into a thick dough without overworking it -- some dry spots are ok.
• Pour the butter into an 8-by-8-inch baking pan. Scrape the dough into the pan and spread to the edges. Use a butter knife to slice the dough into 9 equal squares. Bake for 22 to 25 minutes until golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Remove from the oven and drizzle the honey over the top. Sprinkle with sea salt and let cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving with butter and jam.
