Melting Moments

Ingredients:

250g butter, at room temperature, plus extra for greasing
125g caster sugar
300g self-raising flour

Method:

Lightly grease 2 baking trays with butter.

Put the butter in a large bowl and beat with a wooden spoon to soften it.

Gradually beat in the caster sugar, then stir in the flour.

Use your hands to gather the mixture into a soft but not sticky dough.

Roll the dough into balls about the size of walnuts and place well apart on the trays.

Dip a fork into cold water and press on top of each ball to flatten it and make a pattern.

Bake in batches in a pre-heated oven 180C gas 4 for 15-20 minutes until biscuits are a very pale golden colour.

Cool on a wire rack.
