About the bake
This biscuit dough is a fun mix which is ideal for rolling out and using cutters to create the biscuit of your choice. Easy to make and fun to decorate. Don't forget to freeze your leftover dough for another baking day!
Method
Step 1:
Sieve the flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl and set aside.
Step 2:
In a large bowl cream the butter and sugar until pale. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
Step 3:
Add the flour to the butter mix and mix until the dough is formed. Wrap the biscuit dough in clingfilm and chill for at least one hour.
Step 4:
Preheat the oven to 170°C (150°C fan, gas mark 3). Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface to about 0.5cm.
Step 5:
Cut out the biscuits and transfer to baking sheet. Roll up the trimmings and repeat stages above to make more biscuits. Bake for 8 – 12 minutes until golden.
Step 6:
Remove and transfer to a cooling wire and leave until completely cool before decorating.
Step 7:
The baked biscuits can be stored in an air tight container and are best eaten within 1-2 days. Alternatively, freeze your biscuit dough (wrapped in cling film) for up to 2 months. Allow to defrost in the fridge before baking.

Recipe Reviews
A bit disappointed with these...they were pretty dry so didn't roll out right, however the kids were happy with how they tasted in the end. Would probably try a different recipe next time
Worst biscuits ever.
This really helped me for a first time Baker I have outdone myself
It's us amazing TRRy it
I did these biscuits as a Christmas bake and was worried at first because my dough wasn’t coming together but is added a splash of milk and it was absolutely fine. Very easy to roll out and cut. I did about 20 mins in the over as looked to pale and soft. But once that came out and settled they had a lovley crunch yet the were not burnt. The tasted SO yummy!!!!!!!! Will defo do again. Would recommend.
Very nice recipe. Followed it to the letter, came out very nice. Not hard, not burned, just how they are supposed to be. If you substitute Whole-wheat flower, expect different results. Thank you!
