Melt-in-the-Mouth Flour Biscuits

Ingredients

• 250 g butter, at room temperature
• 1 cup icing sugar
• 1 sachet vanilla sugar
• Half a cup of cornflour
• Plain flour as needed (about 3.5 cups)
• Icing sugar for dusting

Method

1. Beat the butter with the icing sugar until pale and fluffy.
2. Add the vanilla sugar and cornflour and mix through.
3. Work in the flour a little at a time until you have a soft dough that does not stick to your hands.
4. Pinch off walnut-sized pieces, roll them into balls, press lightly and arrange on a lined tray.
5. Bake at 170 °C for 20-22 minutes; they should stay pale.
6. Let them cool on the tray, then sift icing sugar generously over the top.
