Tea can be drunk both in the morning and in the evening. It is good for meeting friends and enjoying it in solitude. But when appropriate baking is served for such a universal drink, tea drinking becomes much more interesting. We suggest you try it with homemade cookies according to simple and tasty recipes from England.
From simple products
This type of baking helps out when the range of available ingredients is modest. List of ingredients for an English cookie recipe:
- flour - 0.5 kilograms;
- butter or margarine - 100 grams;
- high fat milk - 3 tablespoons;
- 150 - 180 grams of sugar;
- eggs - 2 large;
- baking powder - 1 teaspoon;
- finely ground salt - a pinch;
If desired, vanilla sugar can be added.
Dough kneading process
In a separate cup combine loose products - flour, salt, baking powder and granulated sugar. If your English recipe should have vanilla flavor, add vanilla sugar. Mix everything thoroughly.
We combine the eggs with a loose base. Add milk.
Next, add softened butter to the dishes. But it should not be melted. It is enough to remove the briquette from the refrigerator and leave it on the table for a couple of hours. Add the product to the flour mixture.
The result should be a plastic dough. It holds shape well. We put the mass in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. First we hide it in a plastic bag.
Product Formation
Sprinkle a flat surface with a little flour. Roll out the dough into a layer, the thickness of which is not more than half a centimeter. We cut out the figures with special recesses - flowers, rhombuses or hearts. English cookies are placed on a greased baking sheet and sent to a hot oven. It is permissible to sprinkle the workpieces with powdered sugar or sugar. Bake products for 10 to 15 minutes. The exact readiness landmark is a golden hue.
Cinnamon
This recipe for English cookies pleases with its simplicity. This is a great option for a Sunday breakfast. It has an interesting taste and aroma. Ingredients for English Cookies:
- Premium flour - 170 - 200 grams. The exact amount varies upon the fact.
- Sugar - 3 tablespoons with a slide.
- Butter or margarine - 100 grams.
- Ground cinnamon - 1 teaspoon. If you like more fragrant, take a spoon with a slide.
Cooking method
The butter for such cookies should be very soft. We take it out of the refrigerator, place it in a cup and keep it at room temperature for at least two hours.
Then we add to the oil the entire volume of sugar, presumed by prescription.
English cookies will taste better if you add fine salt on the tip of a knife.
We will send cinnamon to the listed components and carefully distribute it over the oily mixture.
We complete the kneading of the base for the cookies, sifting the entire rate of flour directly into the bowl.
As in the previous recipe for English cookies, send the finished plastic dough to the refrigerator. But now the time of his arrival in a cold place will be at least one hour.
After the specified period, knead the dough. We mix flour to it so that it does not stick to the fingers. We form cookies of any shape and bake in the oven for 15 minutes.

How to cook
Melt the butter and beat it with sugar, salt and vanilla sugar.

Sift the flour separately and mix it with baking powder. Then add bulk products to a cup with butter, milk and sugar.
Pour unmilled oatmeal into the resulting dough. Add raisins, if desired poppy. A teaspoon of lemon zest and cinnamon.
The dough is not very thick. Therefore, cookies are best done with a dessert or a tablespoon. Pre-coat the pan with lean oil. We spread oatmeal on it with a spoon. Remember the distance between the workpieces - at least 4 - 5 centimeters. You can leave more.
We bake the blanks in the oven for 10 - 15 minutes. Rosy oatmeal cookies served with tea or milk.
