Head baker Nyssa shared the recipe on , saying: “Want to bake along with a super easy recipe using ingredients in your cupboards?”

Their method bakes a basic crunchy biscuit, but she said you can add any flavourings you have to hand, such as citrus zest, spices or even some chocolate chips - or leave it plain.

Sharing their step-by-step method online, they said it's "a super easy recipe for a home baked sweet treat! 

“Perfect activity for those who are self-isolating. Stay safe..."

First you need to measure out your ingredients, then pop the flour and sugar in a big mixing bowl. 

Add any flavourings you like, then tip the butter in. 

Using your fingertips, mix the ingredients to form a “breadcrumb consistency”.

Nyssa added: “It's important to use your fingertips because if you use your hands, the palms, they’re too warm, the butter will melt.

“And we don't want that because we want a nice snappy, crumbly biscuit.” 

When you’ve achieved a breadcrumb texture, add in water bit by bit - being careful not to overdo it as you can't take the liquid out. 

Nyssa added to add water slowly until you get a nice soft dough which comes together nicely, and isn’t sticky or too wet.

Next pinch off small even pieces of dough and roll them into a ball, and place on a baking tray evenly spaced out. 

Pop them in your pre-heated oven, with Nyssa saying she put hers on 160c for around 10 minutes.

Let them cool before eating or decorating them, and pop the kettle on.
