Servings: 15
Ingredients
- 115 g Caster Sugar
- 115 g Butter or Block Margarine at room temperature
- 1 Egg Yolk
- 60 g Walnuts roughly chopped
- ¼ tsp Vanilla Extract
- 115 g Self Raising Flour
- 1 tsp Cornflour
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°c (or 160°c for a fan-assisted oven or Gas Mark 4). Line a couple of sheets with some grease-proof paper. Set aside
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter & sugar, until light and creamy.
- Add the egg yolk, walnuts & vanilla, and mix until combined.
- Gradually add the flour and cornflour to the mixture, a little at a time, mixing until it forms a soft dough.
- Roll a small amount of dough into balls (between a teaspoon-tablespoon is ideal, depending on how big you want your biscuits to be) and place onto your pre-lined baking sheets with a bit of space between each ball. Flatten each ball a little with your fingers.
- Bake in your preheated oven for 15 minutes, until golden and spread.
- Leave on trays until cool enough to touch, before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
