Method
Preheat oven to 160ºC
Cream the butter and the sugar together in a bowl, then add the other ingredients.
Stir together until the mixture can be formed into a dough.
Lightly flour your surface and roll out your dough to about a 1cm thickness.
Using a cookie cutter of your choice cut out the shapes and place them on a pre-greased baking tray. Keep gathering up the dough and re-rolling it out until you have cut out all your biscuits.
Bake the biscuits in the oven for around 20 minutes. Checking on them regularly to ensure they don’t burn. Take them out when they are a lovely golden brown colour.
Cool on a wire rack. You can eat them as soon as they are cool enough for handling. Great for dunking in your cuppa!
