Vanilla butter biscuits

A simple and versatile treat that can be eaten as it is or dunked in chocolate for those with an extra sweet tooth. You can also add chocolate chips, fruit and nuts, a sprinkle of sugar or ice them. Stacked up and tied with ribbon they would make a nice gift too.

10.5oz flour
