Directions

1. 1
   Sift the flour and baking powder and rub in the butter until it is thoroughly mixed.
2. 2
   Mix in the sugar and caraway seeds and then add the egg and milk to make a stiff dough.
3. 3
   Roll the mixture on a floured surface until it is the thickness required for a biscuit/cookie.
4. 4
   Cut out with a three-inch cookie cutter, rolling the trimmings to make more, as required.
5. 5
   Prick the top of the biscuits with a fork and place on greased baking trays and bake in a pre-heated oven at 375F for 10 minutes until golden brown.
6. 6
   After they have cooled, store in an airtight tin (unless you can't resist eating them all immediately!).
