By

Lorraine Elliot, the creator of Not Quite Nigella, has written up a lovely recipe that will go nicely with any brew.

INGREDIENTS

240g plain all-purpose flour
Three Yorkshire Tea Gold tea bags
70g icing sugar
150g butter, salted
A pinch of salt

METHOD

  1. Preheat the oven to 160 C and line a 20x20cm square tin with parchment on the base and sides.
  2. Place the flour, tea bag contents, icing sugar and salt in a large food processor and process until tea leaves are well dispersed. 

  3. Add the butter and pulse to combine. If it is too dry add a tablespoon or 2 of milk. Press into the parchment-lined tin and score deep lines into the dough. 

  4. Prick with a fork and bake for 40 minutes until pale golden.

  5. Cool for five minutes and then remove from the tin. Cut into fingers with a sharp knife.

  6. Enjoy with a good cuppa!
