These bickies will take you back to childhood; warm, buttery and vanilla - just how grandma made them!

Ingredients

100 g unsalted butter, 
at room temperature

⅓ cup caster sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 egg

2 tbsp (intl) milk

1½ cups plain flour

½ tsp baking powder

½ tsp bicarbonate of soda

Icing sugar mixture, to dust

Method

  1. Grease and line two oven trays with baking paper.
  2. Beat butter, sugar and vanilla in a small bowl of 
an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in egg until combined. Add milk and combined sifted flour, powder and soda. Beat on a low speed until just combined.
  3. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface. Using your hands, bring mixture together into a ball. Roll out between two sheets of baking paper until 1cm thick.
  4. Using a 5½cm round 
cutter dipped in flour, cut 
out 18 shapes from dough, re-rolling dough scraps once. Place rounds about 2cm apart on prepared trays.
  5. Cook in a moderately 
slow oven (160C) for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden. Cool on trays.
  6. Serve biscuits dusted with sifted icing sugar.
