Method
- Heat the oven to 175°C and line two baking trays. Whisk the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder.
- Beat the egg, melted butter, and 1/4 cup milk in another bowl.
- Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients to form a soft dough, adding milk by the teaspoon only if dry crumbs remain.
- Roll the dough thinly between sheets of baking paper.
- Cut into oblongs or small rectangles and sprinkle lightly with sugar.
- Bake for about 10–12 minutes, until pale golden with crisp edges, rotating the tray once for even colour. Check thin biscuits early.
- Cool completely on a rack; the biscuits crisp further as they cool.
