Steps (6 steps, 35 minutes)

  1. 1

    Mix the butter, sea salt and brown sugar until well combined. Add the maple syrup and mix.

  2. 2

    Once all the ingredients are combined, wrap the dough in cling film and rest in the fridge for 30 minutes.

  4. 4

    Roll out the dough to 4mm (3/16”) thick, using marzipan spacers as a guide if necessary. Chill the sheet of biscuit dough in the fridge for one hour until firm.

    Bake the biscuits at 170°C/340°F/gas mark 3½ for 16–20 minutes.

    Top Tip
    If you are making these biscuits for favours or as a gift, thread a narrow ribbon through several biscuits and tie in a bow before wrapping in tissue paper or cellophane.
