Arrowroot Biscuits

01Method

1. 1

   Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare baking sheets by greasing them or lining with parchment paper.

2. 2

   Cream the butter and sugar together until just smooth, then mix in the egg and vanilla extract.

3. 3

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, arrowroot flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir this dry mixture into the butter mixture until a dough forms. Split the dough into two equal portions.

4. 4

   On a lightly floured surface, roll one portion of dough to about 1/8-inch thickness. Use a 2½-inch round cutter to cut out circles, place them on the prepared baking sheet, and prick each one with a fork. Repeat the process with the remaining dough.

5. 5

   Bake until the edges turn golden brown, about 8 to 10 minutes. If the dough was rolled slightly thicker, allow a few extra minutes in the oven.
