Raspberry jam is a great addition to these delicious biscuits

These butter biscuits simply melt in your mouth- DELISH! I can’t wait to share this with you to try. The recipe is really easy to follow and will take around 30 minutes to do, so perfect if you need to take a little time out for yourself.

If you have more time, why not add some jam or adorn them with icing and sugar decorations?

Ingredients

125g butter, softened
237g caster sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 medium egg, at room temperature
270g plain flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon milk
2 tablespoons pure icing sugar, to sprinkle on top

Method

Step 1
Preheat oven to 180°C. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper.
Step 2
Using an electric mixer, beat butter, sugar and vanilla in a small bowl until pale and creamy. Add egg and mix until well combined. Sift flour and baking powder over butter mixture. Add milk and stir until just combined.
Step 3
Using 2 teaspoons of dough at a time, roll dough into balls. Place on baking trays lined with baking paper. Using a lightly-floured fork, flatten biscuits slightly (allow room for spreading).
Step 4
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, swapping trays over in oven after 10 minutes, or until light golden. Allow to cool on trays for 5 minutes. Transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Dust with icing sugar. Serve.
