Chilling time30 minutes
Course: Dessert, Snack
Servings: 30 biscuits

Ingredients

  • 150 g plain flour sifted
  • 100 g butter room temperature
  • 50 g caster sugar

Instructions

  • Heat the oven 170C/150C fan/gas 3.
    Sift the flour ideally, then add the soft butter and sugar. Combine. At first it will look like breadcrumbs but keep working on it until it comes together. Form a little ball, cover the mixing bowl with a plate and let the dough chill in the fridge for half an hour.

  • After chilling - this is important because otherwise the dough will be too soft and sticky to work with - take the dough out of the fridge, sprinkle with flour and roll it out on a lightly floured surface. Aim for about half a cm thickness.
    Cut the biscuits with a cookie cutter. Aim to work quickly so as the dough doesn't warm up too much between rolling out again.

  • Line a baking sheet and bake them for about 15 minutes.
