Plain Biscuits ala Carla
What you need:
- 225g self-raising flour
- Pinch of salt

- 100g caster sugar

What to do:
- Put flour and salt in bowl
- Rub in the butter til mix is like breadcrumbs
- Add sugar *
- Add egg and mix to a very soft dough
- Knead til smooth on a floured surface.
- It is best to leave it to chill for 30 mins before rolling it out.
- Roll out and use cutters to create desired shapes
- Bake in 180C for 10-12 minutes depending on thickness of biscuits
*Choc chips/nuts/currants/smarties can be added at stage 3
*Be careful when removing from baking tray-these harden as they cool-so let them cool for about 5 mins before moving them or they can break. Once cool they harden nicely and are perfect for decorating.
