Eet Sum Mor Copycat Biscuits

The butter or margarine should be at room temperature.

To a mixing bowl, add the butter/margarine & the confectionery (icing) sugar.

Cream together using a wooden spoon or an electric mixer.

Pour in the vegetable oil & vanilla essence.

Mix together. The mixture should be a little clumpy.

Add in the all-purpose or cake flour & corn flour.

Add in the milk powder. Many have asked if this can be substituted or omitted, it can be omitted but I recommend adding milk powder as it gives the biscuits a rich taste which makes them very similar to the real Eet Sum Mor biscuits.

Roughly mix with a wooden spoon.

Next, use your hands to form the mixture into a biscuit (cookie) dough.

To shape these biscuits I will be using a 6cm square cutter – feel free to use smaller cutters to resemble the Eet Sum Mor biscuits.

I have divided the dough in half & placed it onto a floured surface.

Slightly flatten the dough with your hands.

Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough – it should about a centimeter in thickness.

Use the biscuit (cookie) cutter to form the shapes.

Use a knife to gently lift up the shapes.

Place the shaped dough onto a baking tray.

Now if you do not have a cutter, the shapes can be formed by placing the entire dough onto a surface & shaping it into one giant square.

Cut the dough into 3 logs.

Individually wrap the 3 pieces of dough into cling wrap (saran wrap), shape them into square logs & freeze them for 30 minutes (½ an hour) or refrigerate for 1 hour.

After they have cooled into the shape, remove from the freezer/refrigerator & set on the counter. It’s best working with one log at a time. Remove the cling wrap. Using a finger width space, slice the cookie dough. This will form squares.

Place the square shaped dough onto a baking tray.

Bake for 10-15 minutes at 180° Celsius until very lightly browned.

Once they have baked, allow them to cool for a bit on the baking tray as they will be quite fragile, thereafter, carefully place them onto a cooling rack to cool completely & firm up.

Once cooled, these Eet Sum Mor Copycat Biscuits can be served.

They are so delicious & can be stored in an airtight container for up to a month.
