Water Biscuits

Ingredients
185 grams of Ata flour or plain flour
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
45 grams cold butter diced
60 grams of cold water
EVOO
Soumak
Salt flakes

Method
Pre-heat oven to 180´C.
Put flour salt and baking powder into TM and blitz for 4 seconds, (instead of sifting).
Add cold butter and blend on speed 5 for 6 to 8 seconds or until you have a breadcrumb consistancy. While TM is running on speed 5 pour water slowly in through the hole in the lid giving it plenty of time to mix in to form the dough.

Turn onto floured surface and roll out very thinly. Prick all over with a fork, then using the MC cut out shapes and place onto lined baking trays. Brush lightly with EVOO and sprinkle with salt flakes or soumak. Bake for 15-20 minutes unitl lightly browned. Cool on wire racks and serve with dips, pate`or cheeses.

These are really nice little biscuits and are fairly crunchy. They are quite tasty on their own as well.
