🥘 Ingredients

1 lb. of flour, 1/4 lb. of sifted sugar, 1/4 lb. of butter, 1/2 oz. of caraway seeds, 3 eggs.

👨‍🍳 Method

Beat the butter to a cream; stir in the flour, sugar, and caraway seeds; and when these ingredients are well mixed, add the eggs, which should be well whisked. Roll out the paste, with a round cutter shape out the biscuits, and bake them in a moderate oven from 10 to 15 minutes. The tops of the biscuits may be brushed over with a little milk or the white of an egg, and then a little sugar strewn over.

A heritage recipe worth resurrecting

I tried Mrs. Beeton's Seed Biscuits this week, and I was instantly charmed by the humble caraway seeds — a flavor that's often overlooked but adds a delightful, subtle anise note to the biscuits. I found the process of beating the butter to a cream and mixing in the dry ingredients to be quite satisfying, like a little dance of baking alchemy. I was surprised by how quickly the biscuits came together, and even more surprised by how well they held their shape with just eggs as a binding agent. These biscuits are perfect for the weeknight cook looking to add a touch of vintage elegance to their meal. I brushed the tops with a bit of egg white and sprinkled them with sugar for a sweet crunch, but they'd be just as delightful dusted with a pinch of sea salt for a savory twist. Store them in an airtight container, and you'll have a batch of delightful, portable treats to enjoy with your morning coffee or afternoon tea.
