Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter and sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Mix in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the self-raising flour and all-purpose white wheat flour until well combined.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, beating on low speed until just combined. The dough will be a bit crumbly at this stage.
Add the milk and mix until the dough comes together and is smooth.
Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each ball slightly with the back of a spoon or with your fingers.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Be careful not to overbake; the biscuits should remain pale on top.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your vanilla butter biscuits with a nice cup of tea or coffee!
Tips:
- Ensure all ingredients, particularly the butter, are at room temperature before you begin. This helps with even mixing and better texture.
- Cream the butter and sugar together thoroughly to introduce air into the mixture, which will give the biscuits a lighter texture.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This prevents spreading and helps the biscuits maintain their shape.
- Use a cookie cutter for uniformly shaped biscuits, or roll the dough into balls for a more rustic appearance.
- Bake the biscuits until they are lightly golden around the edges, as they will continue to cook slightly after being removed from the oven.
- Allow the biscuits to cool completely on a wire rack before storing them in an airtight container to prevent them from becoming soggy.
Baking vanilla butter biscuits fills your home with a delightful aroma and results in a tasty treat that everyone will love. Serve these biscuits with a cup of tea, coffee, or just enjoy them on their own. You'll find that this recipe is a keeper, ensuring you'll want to make these biscuits time and time again.
