Casse-tête biscuits are a classic treat in Quebec, known for their simple yet satisfying sweetness. Infused with honey, these biscuits offer a delightful twist on the traditional casse-tête, bringing a touch of natural sweetness to each bite. These biscuits are perfect for serving as a sweet snack during tea time or as a comforting dessert. The honey not only adds flavour but also imparts a beautiful golden hue to the biscuits, making them as pleasing to the eye as they are to the palate.

Instructions

Prepare dry ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Cream butter and honey

In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and honey together using an electric mixer until light and creamy.

Pro tip: Ensure butter is fully softened for a smooth mixture.

Add wet ingredients

Add the vanilla extract and egg to the butter mixture, mixing until fully incorporated.

Combine ingredients

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.

Pro tip: Do not overmix to maintain a tender texture.

Chill the dough

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Pro tip: Chilling helps with easier rolling and shaping.

Preheat oven and prepare baking sheets

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

Shape and bake biscuits

Roll out dough on a floured surface to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut into desired shapes and place on prepared baking sheets. Bake in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden.

Pro tip: Rotate baking sheets halfway through for even baking.

Cool and serve

Allow biscuits to cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Pro tip: Cooling on the rack prevents sogginess.
