Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 150 grams Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 80 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 large Egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 70 grams Raisins
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt.
Step 3
Add the cold, cubed butter into the dry mixture. Using your fingertips or a pastry cutter, rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
Step 4
Stir in the raisins to evenly distribute them throughout the mixture.
Step 5
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and vanilla extract.
Step 6
Add the egg yolk mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until the dough begins to come together. If the dough feels too dry, you can add 1-2 teaspoons of cold water, but avoid overmixing.
Step 7
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it into a smooth ball. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm up.
Step 8
On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to a thickness of about 1 cm (0.4 inches). Use a round or square cookie cutter to cut out biscuit shapes, re-rolling scraps as needed.
Step 9
Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
Step 10
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Step 11
Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 12
If desired, dust the cooled biscuits with powdered sugar before serving.
