BUTTER BISCUITS
These are a family favourite – they don’t last very long in my house and they are so simple to make. Experiment with different shapes and decorations. Hope you enjoy them.
Butter biscuits
Ingredients:
75g castor sugar
1 egg
65ml oil
250g butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
500g plain flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Method:
Cream butter until soft, then stir in oil. Add castor sugar and beat until light and fluffy. The consistency should be smooth and creamy. Add vanilla essence and beat well. Beat in egg. Sift flour and baking powder and mix into creamed mixture to make a fairly stiff dough. Roll out dough to 3-4mm thick on a lightly floured surface and cut out shapes with biscuit cutters. Place on baking sheets. Decorate biscuits with angelica and glace cherries and bake at 180C for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned.

Wslm. I know this is probably a silly question for u but I don’t have a scale and would like to know how do I get the messurement for the 75g castor sugar in ml. I’m not an expert by any means and always look for easy recipies to make. Shukran so much for you’re delicious easy recipies. Have tried a few and some came out quite well I think. Again shukran.
