Ingredients
- 170 g Plain Flour
- 110 g Butter
- 55 g Caster Sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C Fan, gas mark 4) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. You can do this with a food processor, electric whisk or by hand using the ‘rub-in method’.110 g Butter, 55 g Caster Sugar
- Add plain flour to the mixing bowl or food processor and mix together until a dough has formed. Use your hands to gather the dough together to form a ball.170 g Plain Flour
- Lightly flour your work surface and place the dough on top of it.With a lightly floured rolling pin, roll the dough out until it has a 0.5cm (5mm) thickness. Use a cookie cutter to cut-out circles. I used a 6cm cookie cutter.
- Place the cut-out dough onto a lined baking tray and bake in the oven for 10 minutes or until it’s starting to turn golden brown around the edges.
- Leave the biscuits to cool down before moving it, otherwise it will break and crumble. The biscuits will harden as they cool.

Notes
If your dough is sticky and hard to roll, then you can chill it in the fridge for 30 minutes or until hardened.
If you're not using a food processor, then you might want to use butter at room temperature. This will help you cream the butter and sugar together easily. Though, you'll probably have to chill the dough later on. before rolling the dough out.
