BUTTER BISCUIT
INGREDIENT
250g butter, at room temperature

Select all ingredients
STEP 1
Use an electric beater to beat the butter
and icing sugar in a medium mixing bowl,
scraping down the side of the bowl
occasionally, until pale and creamy.
STEP 2
Sift the flour and cornflour together over
the butter mixture. Beat on the lowest
possible speed until just combined. Use
floured hands to bring the dough together
and shape into a disc. Wrap in plastic
wrap and place in the fridge for 45
minutes or until firm enough to roll.
STEP 3
Meanwhile, preheat oven to 160C. Line 3
baking trays with non-stick baking paper.
STEP 4
Use a lightly floured rolling pin to roll out
half of the dough on a lightly floured
surface until about 1cm thick. Use a
round 3cm biscuit cutter to cut out the
biscuits and place on the lined trays. Re-
roll any leftover dough and repeat. Use
the end of a clean ruler to press a 3mm-
deep cross in the top of each biscuit.
Sprinkle the biscuits lightly with the
sugar.
STEP 5
Bake in preheated oven, swapping the
trays halfway through cooking, for 20
minutes or until light golden and cooked
through. Remove the biscuits from the
oven and set aside to cool on the trays.
NOTES
These biscuits will keep well in an airtight
container for up to 1 week.
