Valentine's Biscuits
Easy, simple yet dainty biscuits. Make it in minutes with just 5 ingredients
You'll need:
- 110g flour
- 50g sugar
- 75g butter
- 1/2-1 egg yolks
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1. Preheat the oven to 180* C / 350* F. Rub the butter, sugar and flour in a medium bowl.
2. Add in some of the egg and all of the vanilla. You do not need all of the egg, just enough to bind the ingredients together to form a soft, but not sticky dough.
3. Form the dough into a ball, then turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough for a minute or so with the heel of your hand. (Tip: Do not add too much of flour as this will make your cookies dry.) Roll out your dough to a 1/4" (5 mm) thick.
4. Using a cookie cutter, cut out as many biscuits as possible; making sure to re-roll the dough. Place them on a baking sheet lined with tin foil. Bake them for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown around the edges.
