Cushiony Biscuits

Directions

1. 1
   Sift the dry ingredients into a large bowl.
2. 2
   Heat the margarine and syrup together until the margarine has all melted.
3. 3
   Add the egg to the margarine and syrup and stir until well-mixed.
4. 4
   Combine wet and dry ingredients and stir carefully.
5. 5
   The mixture should be dry enough that it doesn't stick to your hands but wet enough that it all sticks together properly.
6. 6
   Grease two baking sheets.
7. 7
   Pinch off a teaspoon of dough and roll into a ball.
8. 8
   Place 9 balls on each sheet - they spread lots when they cook, so don't overcrowd them.
9. 9
   Poke your thumb in the middle of each biscuit to make a dent.
10. 10
    Bake at 350F for 10 minutes or until they're quite brown.
11. 11
    They should be golden brown, crispy around the edges but soft (cushiony) in the middle!
