Mary Berry Fork Biscuits

Mary Berry Fork Biscuits recipe

Mary Berry Fork Biscuits are soft, buttery biscuits made from flour, butter, and sugar, shaped into small balls and flattened with the back of a fork. They bake into golden, crumbly biscuits with a light, melt-in-the-mouth finish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 100g softened butter

  • 50g caster sugar

  • 150g self-raising flour

(Optional add-ins)

  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

  • A pinch of salt

  • Lemon zest or chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Cream the butter and sugar: Beat together until light, smooth, and creamy.

  • Add the flour: Fold in the flour to form a soft, smooth dough.

  • Shape the biscuits: Roll the dough into small balls and place on a lined baking tray.

  • Flatten with a fork: Dip a fork in cold water and gently press each ball to create the signature pattern.

  • Bake the biscuits: Place in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 12–15 minutes until pale golden.

  • Cool completely: Transfer to a wire rack to firm up as they cool.
