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. |
