Very traditional biscuits that are crisp and crunchy but melt in the mouth. So delicious that a freshly-baked batch never seems to last very long.
Ingredients:
100g butter
75g caster sugar
1 egg yolk
a few drops of vanilla extract
150g self-raising flour
crushed cornflakes
Method:
Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy then add the egg yolk and beat in well to combine. Add a little vanilla extract then sift-in the flour and combine to form a stiff dough.
Divide the dough into 24 equal pieces and roll in the crushed cornflakes. Place the balls on lightly-greased baking sheets, flattening them slightly so they stay in place and spacing them about 5cm apart. Place in an oven pre-heated to 190°C and bake for about 15 minutes, or until just browned.
Allow to cool for 10 minutes on the baking tray then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an air-tight jar.
