Product Information

Ashley, thank you so much for this recipe! I am sensitive to many foods, so it means a lot to have an fast, simple, straight-shooting recipe that works. Buttergives a deliciously rich flavour. However, Baker’s biscuits are made with baking margarine of sorts. I prefer baking with butter, but in this case, margarine will is a perfectly fine substitute. I share Recipes discovered or inspired by my adventures and family favourites too! Come join me on my culinary adventure.

These rich buttery flakyvegan biscuitsare unbelievably just as good as regular biscuits. The secret to fluffy dairy-free biscuits is using rich and creamy coconut cream. They are ready in just 30-35 minutes and are made with 7 simple ingredients that are pantry staples. This easy recipe is made in one large mixing bowl for easy clean up and doesn’t require any special equipment like a food processor. An American Classic Icing sugar - there is a difference between pure icing sugar and icing sugar mixture. I recommend using pure icing sugar,which doesn’t contain any cornflour, as this will give you a firmer buttercream which holds the biscuits together better. Coconut extract– The only ingredient you might not readily have on hand is coconut extract. This isn’t the most common ingredient but when I saw some at the baking store I had to get it.

I’ve tried countless recipes over the years, some quite fiddly, searching for the perfect biscuit (or coconut macaroon as they are sometimes called). Now, the original recipe was okay, but they never particularly tasted like Baker's Romany creams to me. I mean, yes, my mom never sandwiched them together with chocolate, but the overall taste and texture were off. It was a good enough biscuit, but a Romany cream it was not! Use room temperature ingredients! Using room temperature ingredients ensures that ingredients in the batter or dough will incorporate easier. Take note that room temperature refers to around 20°C/68F. I came across this recipe on a blog called Healthful Pursuits. They are super easy and since I didn’t add vanilla as per the original recipe, they only have 4 ingredients.

Step 1 - Cream together the room temperature butter, sugar, salt and golden syrup. Then add the room temperature egg and mix through until light and fluffy. These biscuits were such a hit that people needed to recreate them in their own homes. In fact, my mom used to regularly bake a batch of Romany creams when it was biscuit baking time. And she used a recipe out of the Kei Road Women's Association Centenary Recipe Book. Bake for 12 minutes at 350°F. The edges will be firm and set but they will still be very soft in the middle.

Plain Flour: Plain baking flour, do not use 00 flour or bread flour. You can use self-raising flour and omit the baking powder. Additionally, I could not bloom the cocoa powder as is called for in the Kei Road Recipe Book. Romany Creams have a barely-there cocoa flavour. So, I axed the boiling water. Played around with a few ratios, and added eggs to bind the whole mixture together. Butter - at room temperature. I prefer to use unsalted butteras a baking ingredient. This is not essential and if you usually buy salted butter,using that will be perfectly fine.
