Directions

1. Step 1: Cream the Butter, Sugar & Honey: In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, brown sugar, and Hilltop Honey until smooth and fluffy. This creates the base of your biscuit dough with a rich, golden sweetness.

2. Step 2: Add the Egg Yolk & Vanilla: Mix in the egg yolk and vanilla extract (if using) until fully combined.

3. Step 3: Add the Dry Ingredients: Stir in the flour and cinnamon (plus nutmeg, if using). Mix until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.

4. Step 4: Chill the Dough: Wrap the dough in cling film and place it in the fridge for 20–30 minutes. This helps the biscuits hold their shape when baking.

5. Step 5: Roll & Cut: Lightly flour your work surface and roll the dough out to about ½ cm thick. Use cookie cutters to shape into stars, hearts, or whatever fits the moment.

6. Step 6: Bake: Arrange the biscuits on a parchment-lined baking tray. Bake at 180°C (160°C fan/gas 4) for 10–12 minutes, until lightly golden and just set around the edges.
