Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This can be done using an electric mixer on medium speed or a wooden spoon if mixing by hand.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose white wheat flour and the corn flour until they are well combined.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the creamed butter and sugar. Mix on low speed until the dough comes together and no dry flour is visible. The dough should be soft but not sticky.
- Take small portions of the dough (about a tablespoon each) and roll them into balls. Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between each one.
- Gently flatten each ball with the back of a fork, creating a slight indentation pattern on the top.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the biscuits just start to turn golden. Be careful not to overbake; the biscuits should remain pale.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the biscuits to cool on the sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, the butter biscuits are ready to be enjoyed. Store any leftovers in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
Tips:
- Make sure your butter is at room temperature; this will make it easier to cream with the sugar.
- Sift the flours together to ensure there are no lumps, resulting in a smoother dough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to help the biscuits hold their shape.
- Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent the biscuits from sticking to the baking sheet.
- Keep an eye on the biscuits while baking; they should be lightly golden at the edges but not overly browned.
By following these simple steps and tips, you can create buttery, melt-in-your-mouth biscuits that are perfect for any time of the day. Whether you're serving them with afternoon tea or enjoying them as a late-night snack, these butter biscuits are sure to become a favorite in your recipe collection. Enjoy the process of baking and the rewarding taste of homemade goodness!
