Vanilla butter biscuits are delightful treats that blend the rich flavors of buttery goodness and vanilla. Perfect for tea time or as a comforting snack, these biscuits are simple to make and offer a melt-in-your-mouth experience that will leave you wanting more.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter

110g

1/3 cup sugar

63g

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup self-raising flour

150g

2/3 cup all-purpose white wheat flour

80g

2 tsp milk (1% fat)

10g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer or a wooden spoon to cream together the softened butter and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer on medium speed.

3. Add Vanilla: Add the vanilla extract to the creamed butter and sugar mixture. Mix until well incorporated.

4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the self-raising flour and all-purpose wheat flour.

5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet mixture (butter, sugar, and vanilla), mixing on low speed or with a spatula until just combined. The dough will be crumbly at this stage.

6. Add Milk: Add the milk to the dough and mix until the dough comes together. It should form a smooth, cohesive dough.

7. Shape Biscuits: Using your hands, roll small portions of the dough into balls (about 1 inch in diameter). Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each biscuit for slight expansion during baking.

8. Flatten Biscuits: Press down gently on each dough ball with the back of a fork to flatten it slightly and create a decorative pattern on the top.

9. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the biscuits are golden brown.

10. Cool: Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

11. Serve: Once fully cooled, your vanilla butter biscuits are ready to be enjoyed. Store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain freshness.

Tips:

- Use room temperature butter.: Ensure the butter is at room temperature to easily blend with the sugar and other ingredients, creating a smooth dough.

- Do not overmix.: Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined. Overmixing can result in tough biscuits.

- Chill the dough.: Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This helps the biscuits maintain their shape and enhances their flavor.

- Preheat the oven.: Make sure your oven is preheated to the correct temperature before baking to ensure even cooking.

- Use parchment paper.: Line your baking tray with parchment paper to prevent the biscuits from sticking and to allow easy cleanup.

- Check for doneness.: Bake the biscuits until they are lightly golden around the edges. They should be slightly soft in the center, as they will firm up as they cool.

These vanilla butter biscuits are a simple yet satisfying treat, combining the comforting flavors of butter and vanilla in each bite. By following these tips and using quality ingredients, you can create a delicious batch of biscuits that are perfect for any occasion. Enjoy your homemade vanilla butter biscuits with a cup of tea or share them with loved ones for a delightful experience.
