200 g butter at room temperature
200 ml Icing sugar
2 extra large egg yolks
1 tsp vanilla essence
2 cups cake flour
Preheat oven to 160 C. ( Fan assist 140 C )
Line a baking tray with baking paper.
Beat butter, icing sugar and egg yolks until thick and creamy, then add vanilla and the cake flour and beat until the mixture forms a dough.
Wrap in cling film and place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
Roll out dough onto a lightly floured surface to a thickness of 5 mm and cut into shapes. Prick biscuits with a fork and sprinkle with castor sugar.
Place on a tray and bake for 13 – 15 mins until golden brown OR allow biscuits to cool and dust with icing sugar.
