(Photo credit: Wikipedia)[/caption]This is a great little recipe to keep handy as you can adapt it completely to whatever type or flavor of biscuit you'd like.
Ingredients
250g butter, softened
140g caster sugar
1 egg yolk
2 tsp vanilla extract
300g plain flour
Method
1. Mix the softened butter and caster sugar in a large bowl with a wooden spoon.
2. Add the egg yolk and the vanilla extract and briefly beat to combine.
3. Sift your plain flour and stir until the mixture is well combined, if it's not coming together, this is your chance to get all sticky and dirty just like when you were a kid! Put your hands in there and give it all a good mix and press the dough together firmly.
Note: Now, you'll notice I didn't give an oven temperature or time, this is because it all depends on what you add onto this basic recipe...for that your imagination is the limit! I usually say about 150c-170c is a good basis for about 10-15 minutes.
Let me see and know about your concoctions :)
Happy baking!
