Happy Baking- Shortbread Style Biscuits

These biscuits are a little like shortbread. They're crumbly, but have a nice crisp to them.
They're so easy to make, and take less than 10 minutes to bake, perfect for those unexpected visitors, or when only home made will do!

Go on, stick the kettle on and bake some biscuits!



Makes approximately 24 small ish biscuits. (I used a pretty little flower cookie cutter from Lakeland- Find it here)

Ingredients-
140g Plain Flour
100g Unsalted Butter- Straight from the fridge
50g Icing Sugar
1 Egg Yolk
















Method-
1) Preheat your oven to 180C and line a baking tray with greaseproof paper.
2) Rub the flour and butter together until it resembles bread crumbs.
3) Stir in the icing sugar.
4) Add the egg yolk and start squeezing the mixture together until it binds into a ball of dough.
5) Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface until about 3-4mm thick and cut out shapes using a cookie cutter. (Try to keep the cookies small to allow for a short baking time.)
6) Place the spaces onto the baking tray and bake for 6-8 minutes- Or until the edges are turning a light brown at the edges.
7) Let the biscuits cool and harden slightly before transferring to a wire rack.
8) Get a cuppa and dunk away!
