THE LAZY MAKOTI BISCUITS
It doesn’t get easier than this!
2 cups cake flour
1 cup butter
½ cup sugar

Preheat oven to 180ºC.
In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar. Add flour and continue to mix until mixture forms a soft dough (it will be crumbly at first, but keep mixing and it will form a dough). Form dough into a cohesive ball with your hands. Roll dough 1/4-inch thick on a surface dusted with flour with a well-dusted rolling pin. Cut into rounds and place on greased baking tray. Repeat as necessary. Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until golden brown.

INVERT SUGAR-TRIMOLINE
Yield: 2 lb 3 oz (1 kilo)
4 Cups + 6 Tablespoon (2 lb 3 oz) Extra fine granulated sugar (1 kg)
2 cups (16 fl oz) Water (480 ml)
¼ Teaspoon ( ¼ tsp) Cream of tartar or citric acid (1 g)
If you have an induction cook top or an electric stove use these options instead of gas. In a non reactive saucepan stir to a boil the sugar, water and cream of tartar (Or citric acid).
Once the mixture boils wash away any sugar crystals stuck to the side of the pan with pastry brush dipped in water. Any additional water added to the pan from this process, has no effect on the final outcome.
On medium heat without stirring boil the mixture to 236°F (114°C). Remove from heat and cover the pan. Let cool at room temperature. Store in a refrigerator. Invert sugar will last at least 6 moths.

1 koppie fyn konfyt van jou keuse
1 eetlepel maizena
1 groot eier
1 eetlepel melk

Voorverhit jou oond 200 ºC

Sif bruismeel en sout 2 keer deur
Gooi nou die gerasperde botter by en met vingerpunte vryf dit goed deur
Gooi room geleidelik tot deeg bol vorm, trek toe met plastiek en sit in yskas vir 20 min
Intussen meng die maizena goed met jou konfyt ( help dat konfyt nie uitkook nie)
Deel jou deeg in 3 dele
Begin met eerste bal en op koekmeel oppervlak rol dun uit
Druk sirkels met koekie drukker
Herhaal tot al jou deeg bolle klaar is
Skep teelepels konfytmengsel in die middel van die sirkels
Maak die randjies van sirkels klam met bietjie water op jou vingerpunt
Vou die sirkels toe dat dit soos ‘n halfmaan lyk en seel met ‘n vurk al om die randjies
Rangskik tertjies ‘n gesmeerde bakplaat
Prik elke tertjie ‘n gaatjie of twee met tandestokkie in die middel
Klits eier en eetlepel saam, en smeer tertjies daarmee
Bak 10 min op middel oondrak
Laat tertjies afkoel op die bakplaat voor jy met eierspaan versigtig die tertjies aflig
