The dough is never the same depending on the weather, or the egg’s size, so do not have any hesitation to add more flour to reach a consistence which is smooth but not sticky. And if ever the consistence is crumbly you will need to add more humidity, so just a little of water will be great.

Always start the dough with a fork. When the flour will have absorbed all the liquid ingredients, it will be time to put your hands in order to start the kneading. Don’t forget to knead with the palm of your hand.

Options

Orange blossom is my favorite flavor for those easy biscuits, but it’s totally possible to use another flavor like vanilla, lemon or orange. It will work perfectly as well.

I like as well eating those biscuits any time during the year at the end of my diner with a good coffee, or even as a snack.
