Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
12 oz SR flour
4 oz Margarine
1/2 ts Salt
1 Egg, beaten
8 oz Brown sugar
1 t Vanilla essence
Set oven to 350°F or Mark 4. Grease a baking sheet.
Melt the sugar, margarine and vanilla essence together
in a saucepan very gently over a low heat. Remove from
the heat. When the mixture has cooled add the beaten
egg and mix together. Sift the flour and salt into a
bowl. Make a well in the centre and pour in the cooled
egg/fat/sugar mixture. Knead into a stiff dough. This
will be fairly dry, but it needs no extra moisture.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface into 1/2 inch
thickness and cut out the biscuits with a 2 inch
biscuit cutter. Place on the baking sheet with
sufficient space to allow them to spread. Bake for 20
minutes until light golden in colour.
