Cookies and biscuit lovers get ready! These Mary Berry fork biscuits (with a chocolate twist) is one to try: they’re buttery, soft, tasty and so delicious. Find out how to make them below.
There’s nothing better than homemade biscuits! They taste so much better than shop brought ones and these biscuits are made with just 4 ingredients! Fork biscuits are one of the easiest biscuits you could ever make: It’s quick, simple and tastes great too. This delicious creation is one of Mary Berry’s recipes, so you already know it’s going to be good.
I’m yet to find anybody who doesn’t love them as much as I do, it’s a must-have recipe I think everyone should know. And of course, I’ve made a little twist by adding white chocolate chips. This subtle hint of chocolate makes these biscuits completely irresistible.
Recipe Ingredients
A mixture of flour, butter and sugar is basically a shortbread mixture. But this recipe uses self-raising flour instead of plain flour, so in other words it’s shortbread with self-raising flour. This means these fork biscuits are less crumbly but more tender and softer. The 4 basic ingredients you’ll need to make these biscuits are listed below:
- Self-Raising Flour: Provides structure and helps the fork biscuits to rise.
- Butter: You can use either salted or unsalted butter.
- Caster Sugar: Caster sugar also called superfine sugar.
- White chocolate Chips: The addition of white chocolate chips is optional; I only used a small amount to provide a subtle taste in every bite. I made a list of flavour variations you can add below, you could also leave out any additional flavours for a plain biscuit recipe.
This biscuit recipe has no egg, so it’s perfect for anyone with an egg allergy. Be sure to check there’s no egg in the other ingredients you use too.
