The Perfect Treat for Any Occasion

Condensed milk biscuits are a delightful treat that can brighten any moment. Whether you're hosting a tea party, celebrating a birthday, or simply enjoying a quiet afternoon at home, these biscuits will surely impress. Their sweet and buttery flavor makes them irresistible, and they pair perfectly with a variety of beverages, from tea and coffee to milk and hot chocolate.

What makes these biscuits even more appealing is their versatility. You can experiment with various add-ins such as chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruits to customize them to your taste. This adaptability ensures that you can serve them for any occasion, making them a staple in your baking repertoire.

Easy to Make with Simple Ingredients

One of the best aspects of these condensed milk biscuits is how easy they are to prepare. With just a handful of ingredients readily available in most kitchens, whipping up a batch is a breeze. You won’t need any specialized baking skills or equipment, making this recipe perfect for novice bakers or those looking for a quick and satisfying baking project.

The use of sweetened condensed milk not only enhances the flavor but also simplifies the process by acting as both a sweetener and a binding agent. This means fewer steps and less mess, allowing you to enjoy the baking experience without the hassle.

Storage and Serving Suggestions

Once baked and cooled, these biscuits can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. This makes them an excellent option for meal prep or for keeping on hand for unexpected guests. However, they are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven when they are warm and soft.

Consider serving these biscuits with a light dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of chocolate for an extra touch of indulgence. They also make a thoughtful homemade gift, beautifully packaged in a decorative tin for friends and family to enjoy.

Ingredients

For the Biscuits

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Make sure to measure your ingredients accurately for the best results.

Instructions

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Mix Ingredients

In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and sweetened condensed milk. Beat until well combined.

Add Dry Ingredients

Sift in the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the vanilla extract and mix until a soft dough forms.

Shape the Biscuits

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each.

Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack.

Enjoy your freshly baked condensed milk biscuits with a cup of tea or coffee!

Tips for Perfect Biscuits

To achieve the best texture, ensure that your butter is softened but not melted. This will help to create a light and fluffy dough. Additionally, be careful not to overmix the dough once you add the dry ingredients. Mixing just until combined will keep your biscuits tender and delicious.

If you find the dough too sticky to handle, you can chill it in the refrigerator for about 15-30 minutes. Chilling will make it easier to scoop and shape the biscuits, resulting in a neater appearance.

Variations to Try

Feel free to experiment with flavors by adding spices such as cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm, aromatic twist. You might also incorporate citrus zest, like lemon or orange, to add a refreshing brightness to the biscuits.

For chocolate lovers, folding in chocolate chips or chunks not only adds richness but also creates a delightful contrast to the sweet biscuit base. You could even dip half of the cooled biscuits in melted chocolate for an elegant touch.

Pairing Ideas

These biscuits are fantastic on their own, but pairing them with a complementary beverage can elevate your snacking experience. Enjoy them with a cup of freshly brewed tea or coffee to balance their sweetness and create a cozy atmosphere.

For a fun twist, serve them alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. This pairing transforms your biscuits into a scrumptious dessert that delights both kids and adults alike.
