How to make caramel biscuits: key tips
Start by creaming your butter and brown sugar. Make sure that the butter is softened before you begin, otherwise it will be impossible to cream it well. I find that cutting the chilled butter into cubes makes it soften more quickly.
Once the syrup is added, beat the mixture until it’s light and fluffy so that it contains a lot of air, which will form the biscuit texture. Next, simply mix in the flour until it is just combined – don’t overmix or your biscuits will end up too dense.
Arrange your biscuit dough balls on lined baking trays ready for baking, but be sure to leave room for the biscuits to spread. Flatten the balls slightly with a fork, but don’t press too hard – these bickies will spread quite a bit and you don’t want them to be too flat.
Bake the biscuits, 2 baking trays at a time, swapping the trays halfway through cooking, for 15 minutes or until golden. They’ll be really soft once baked, so let them sit on the trays for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

The butter, sugar and syrup combine to make the delightful caramel flavour, while the flour holds everything together and helps the biscuits rise. The high-sugar content is what makes these biscuits crispy.
