A regular of mine for home and salon. Super healthy, super quick and very easy.
Easy-peasy defines this recipe as they only take 20 minutes and just four ingredients. Perfect for unexpected guests or last-minute snacks. My odd name for them is just how I remember the fork making an impression in the top before baking.
Ingredients:
100gms unsalted butter (softened)
50gms golden caster sugar
150gms self raising flour
1 tsp vanilla essence or vanilla bean paste
Method:
Preheat oven to 165⁰C.
Prepare a lined baking tray. Beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the flour and vanilla, continuing to beat until everything is incorporated and a dough starts to form. Take dessert-spoon size quantities of the mixture, or use a piping bag, and place on the prepared baking tray leaving space between each biscuit as they will spread slightly.
Using a fork, press slightly into each biscuit to flatten it and leave the prong indentation. Bake for appx 10 -12 mins (depending on the size of the biscuits), until they are golden on top.
Enjoy.

Water is a source of life and vitality. As we age our bodies are less able to hold water so our skin sags, our bones become brittle, our hair drier, thinner and frizzy.
Introduced by Portuguese merchants in the 16th century, and adapted over time to suit Japanese tastes, this light bouncy sponge is considered a traditional Japanese speciality. More delicate and airy than a regular sponge cake, castella ( カステラ, kasutera) is famous for a fine and moist crumb.
