The Baker's Dozen

Baker's Dozen: A Saint Nicholas Tale | Aaron Shepard

Here are my finished Saint Nicholas biscuits (stars, hearts, houses and Christmas trees), in front of a song book opened at the page of La légende de Saint Nicolas, a famous song about three children killed and salt-cured by a butcher. Fortunately, Saint Nicholas brings them back to life 👍

Dilara No idea if I can glean extra points from this post - I already counted the points for Shared/Attempted Festive Recipe yesterday, when I posted a picture of a raw biscuit - but I still wanted to share. 2y

StayCurious Give yourself an extra 10 points because they look yummy! 2y

Baker's Dozen: A Saint Nicholas Tale | Aaron Shepard

I am baking biscuits/cookies for Saint Nicholas's feast on the 6th. I usually do it on the day, but not this time: I am visiting my daughter this weekend and I want to bring her some because, with a newborn to look after, I doubt she'll have time to make her own...

Recipe below

Dilara Gâteaux de la Saint-Nicolas

250g flour
120g brown sugar (Demerara, soft brown, or a mixture of the two)
pinch of salt
1 tsp baking powder
120g butter
1 egg
milk - a couple of tbsp if necessary for the dough to hold

Mix the ingredients, roll into a ball and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Roll out the dough and cut out shapes.
Bake for 10-15 minutes, gas mark 5-6.

We typically eat them plain, but you can decorate them with icing if you want.

Less than a month until this year‘s Decatur Book Festival!! There are so many great books being featured, I‘m celebrating on my blog by posting mini reviews of 13 of my favorites this month (of those I‘ve read so far). Hope to see lots of Littens on Labor Day weekend or read along with those of you further afield. #DBF2019
