These are great because they are very simple, easy, reliable and tasty. You can roll them into shapes (and they hold their shapes well), eat the (play) dough, have a bit of fun. Even a kid could do it (and they do). The quantities are 1 third sugar, 2 thirds butter and 3 thirds plain flour. Easy peasy pudsticks.
Butter Short Biscuits
flour, plain fine, 6oz
butter, 4oz
sugar, caster, 2oz (I whiz my granulated sugar first to make finer – good cost saving exercise)
Turn on oven to 150°C fan. Put all ingredients in Magimix (or work by hand). When it goes into a soft ball it is ready. Roll out 1/8th inch thick or half cm. Cut into shapes, Cai did stars, I did rounds. Prick with a fork a few times. Place on non-stick parchment (or greased) roasting tin. They grow a little so non too close together. Bake 15 minutes until biscuits are a little brown round edges. Serve to B&B guests and drizzle with melted chocolate for special occasions (it’s Thursday, that’s special enough for me).
A jar of these would make a nice present for someone. They keep 10 days.
