Homemade Kingston Biscuits Recipes

KENTUCKY BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Cut in 1/2 cup butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Mix in the buttermilk. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead 2 minutes. Transfer to an ungreased baking sheet, roll into a 6x6 inch square, and cut into 12 even sections. Do not separate.
• Bake 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until a knife inserted in the center of the square comes out clean. Separate into biscuits, and serve hot.

KINGSTON COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Sift the flour and baking soda together.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, cream the butter, sugar and golden syrup until pale and fluffy. Add the flour, baking soda, coconut and rolled oats and mix until combined.
• Roll teaspoons (about ¾ ounce or 20 g) of the mixture into balls and place on the prepared trays, spaced 1¼ inches (3 cm) apart. Flatten slightly with the palm of your hand. Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden.
• Remove the baking sheets from the oven and transfer the cookies to a cooling rack to cool completely.
• Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, or by using a double boiler. Don't allow the bowl to touch the water.
• Leave to cool slightly, and when the chocolate has thickened, spread over the base of half the cookies.
• Sandwich with the remaining cookies and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature.
