Ingredients

2 1/2 cups plain flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp powdered cinnamon
Pinch salt
2 large eggs,
yolks and whites separated
1/2 cup butter, softened
Extra cinnamon for sprinkling

Directions

Put plain flour into a mixing bowl with the baking soda (or you could use self-raising flour instead), brown sugar, pinch of salt and powdered cinnamon. Mix together well. Stir in egg yolks and the softened butter. In a separate bowl (not plastic), whisk the egg whites to soft peaks. Fold the egg whites into the other mixture until it forms a smooth dough. Spread the dough onto a cool floured surface and knead the dough until it is smooth. Refrigerate for 15 minutes. Roll out on a floured surface to 4mm thick between two sheets of non-stick baking paper. Cut into round biscuit shapes, either with biscuit cutters or a knife. Place the biscuits onto baking tray covered with non-stick baking paper. Bake in a moderate 180c oven for ten minutes or so. Cool and sprinkle with a little cinnamon.
