What you need:

  • 275g Odlums Cream Plain Flour, plus extra for dusting
  • 220g unsalted butter, diced
  • 100g icing sugar, sifted
  • 2tbsp of milk
  • A pinch of salt

How to:

  1. Place the flour, butter, icing sugar and salt in a mixing bowl. Rub together until the mixture re­sembles breadcrumbs. If too dry add a tablespoon or two of milk.
  2. On a lightly floured surface, knead gently to form a smooth ball of dough. Wrap this in cling film and place it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Line two baking trays with parchment paper.
  4. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to 0.5cm thick. Using a 9cm cutter, cut out the biscuits. You can re-roll the trimmings. 
  5. Place the biscuits on the prepared trays and put into the fridge to rest for 30 minutes.
  6. Preheat your oven to 170ºC/375ºF/gas mark 5.
  7. Bake the biscuits for 12–14 minutes until pale and just beginning to colour but cooked through. They should be a nice golden colour. 
  8. The biscuits will be soft whilst warm, so leave on the trays for a few minutes until they have set, then transfer to a wire rack to cool.
