Ingredients 

3 cups of strong bread flour or plain flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

225g butter (diced)

1/2 cup plus 1/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon whole milk

1 egg
Little vanilla bean paste or 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Pre-heat oven to gas 160 degrees celsius. Place the butter and sugar in a bowl of a stand mixer; beat until pale and fluffy. 

2. Add egg, vanilla, milk and beat for 2 minutes. 

3. Sift in the flour and salt in small batches. Change the hook of the stand mixer to a dough hook, mix until well combined. (at this point, I use my hands just so the dough can bind).

4. Place the dough in between cling films, flatten and put in the fridge for 30 - 45 minutes.

5. Cut out your shapes and place cut out biscuits on a lined baking tray. Place in the oven and bake for 15 minutes.

6. Leave to cool down... Enjoy with cold milk
