Shrewsbury biscuits
- 113 grams softened butter or margarine
- 113 grams granulated sugar
- 170 grams plain flour
- pinch salt
- 1 tsp vanilla paste/extract I used paste
- 1 egg lightly beaten, I used 62g as I used a cookie press so dough didn't need rolling out and I got 60 biscuits
- Line 1 or 2 baking trays with greaseproof paper depending on size of biscuits you are making and pre heat oven to 170/325f/gm3
- Cream together butter & sugar till light
- Add sifted flour, salt, extract or vanilla paste and enough egg to form a dough (if rolling out) or little more for a cookie press
- Roll dough out if rolling to 1/4" thick cut into circles with 2" cutter then put onto tray, or put in the press and press onto the tray.
- Cook in centre of oven 10-15 minutes until light golden brown.
- The smaller the biscuit the quicker the time.
- Take out oven, leave a few minutes then transfer to cooling rack
- Enjoy...
