Description
Soft butter biscuits with a tender crumb and smooth buttercream icing. A simple homemade treat perfect for baking days, holidays, and sharing.
Ingredients
Biscuits
- 1.1 cup – 250g butter, softened (not melted)
- ±2 cups Self-Rising flour (start with 2 cups, add a little more if needed)
- 1/2 cup Cornflour
- 1/2 cup icing sugar
Buttercream Icing
- 10 Tbsp. – 140g butter, softened
- 1 1/4 cups – 280g icing sugar
- 1 to 2 tbsp milk
Instructions
Biscuits
- Preheat your oven to 350⁰F (180⁰C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, beat the 250g softened butter until creamy and pale. It should look fluffy, not greasy.
- Sift in the ±2 cups Self-Rising flour, 1/2 cup Cornflour, and 1/2 cup icing sugar.
- Mix gently until it comes together into a soft dough. If it feels too sticky, add a small sprinkle of Self-Rising flour, a tbsp at a time.
- Lightly flour your surface and roll the dough to about 1/4 inch thick.
- Cut into shapes and place on the prepared tray, leaving a little space between them.
- Bake at 350⁰F (180⁰C) for 10 to 15 minutes until the bottoms are just lightly golden. The tops should stay pale.
- Let them cool completely on a rack before icing. They firm up as they cool, so don’t worry if they seem soft at first.
Buttercream Icing
- Beat the 140g softened butter until smooth and creamy.
- Add half of the 280g icing sugar and beat until combined.
- Add the remaining icing sugar and 1 tbsp milk, then beat until smooth.
- If it feels too thick, add the remaining 1 tbsp of milk slowly until you get a spreadable consistency.
- Spread or pipe onto cooled biscuits, then top with fondant if you like.
