Honey and Almond Biscuits

Someone asked me if my almond biscuit recipe could be done with honey.  I hadn't even considered it.  Although once the thought had entered my mind I couldn't shrug it off and so, I began experimenting and have come up with this recipe.  It's not quite the same but still very yummy.

Honey and Almond biscuits

50g butter
2 tablespoons of honey
pinch of salt
50g ground almonds
150g wholemeal plain flour










Preheat oven to 200c

Mix the butter and honey together add the almonds and pinch of salt and mix in thoroughly. 

Stir in the flour until it's a ball of dough.

Dust a clean surface down with flour and a rolling pin too.  Roll the dough until it's about half a centimetre thick and cut with a cutter it should make about 15 -18 biscuits in all.

Put in the oven for 8 minutes, then leave to cool on a cooling rack for a few minutes before eating.  At first they seem very soft, but after cooling become wonderfully crunchy, like they should be.  When I first made them, I brought them out of the oven and thought they were never going to go hard but I was delighted when they did.

Hope this works for you too.

Almond biscuits

The girls went on and on about how hungry they've been today.  It didn't seem to matter what I fed them they were still hungry so we decided to made some biscuits.  They were so delicious I thought I'd put the recipe in here and it kept them quite until tea.

Fun in the Kitchen





I am the writer of what Lisa Bakes.  I have a family of six to feed and I'm always looking for fun ways to feed them and make dinner time a fun family experience too.


I began writing this food blog because I love cooking all my life and more so with my 4 daughters.  I am always having fun looking a different foods from around the world, tweaking recipes and creating new ones or cooking with the girls, so I thought I'd share the best of my inventions and recipes with everyone else.

I hope you all enjoy reading this blog and have even more fun trying them out!  

I love to here from my readers so all feedback is very welcome.
