For Amy in NZ...
Here is the Sweet Biscuit Recipe:
170g/6oz./1 1/2 cups flour
115g/4oz./1 stick of butter
55g/2oz./1/4 cup caster (fine) sugar
1. Rub the butter into the flour and add the sugar, as for shortcrust pastry. Gather the mixture together and knead lightly.
2. Roll out to 5mm/1/4 inch thick and cut into rounds with a 6.5cm/2 1/2 inch cutter or into heart shapes.
3. Bake in a 180 degree celcius or 350 degree fahrenheit oven until pale brown - about 15 minutes. Remove adn cool on a rack. Serve with fruit fools, compotes and ice cream or we just enjoy them with coffee or hot tea.
