Ingredients
Scale
- 180g / 12 tbsp salted butter, softened
- 2/3 cup caster sugar / superfine sugar
- 1 egg yolk, from large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups plain flour / all-purpose flour
- 1 egg yolk, from large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 tsp milk
Instructions
- Cream the softened butter and sugar in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract, mixing well until combined.
- Gradually add the flour in three batches, mixing until a dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a surface, knead it into a ball, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- After chilling, roll out the dough to a thickness of 5mm (0.2 inches).
- Use a cutter to cut out rounds measuring 7cm (2.8 inches) in diameter, yielding 24 pieces.
- Brush the rounds with egg wash, and use a fork to score a cross design on each biscuit.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 15 minutes.
Notes
Ensure the butter is at room temperature for easier creaming with sugar.
You can adjust the thickness of the biscuits according to your preference for crunchiness or softness.
Store any leftover biscuits in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
