SERVES 10 , 60 cookies
- 250 g butter
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- 3 cups plain flour
- 1 (400gram) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence
- Beat the butter and sugar until creamy.
- Add vanilla essence - beat for another couple seconds.
- Add the tin of sweetened condensed milk to the "cream" mixture.
- Add salt then flour - cut into the mixture whilst mixing with a round edged knife.
- Once mixture has the consistency of workable dough (more flour may be needed to get right consistency) roll out dough into 6 inch "sausages" - wrap "sausage dough" in parchment paper (wax paper) and place in fridge for half an hour before cutting the sausages into slices. Flatten biscuits lightly before baking in a preheated oven @ 180degrees until biscuits are a fine golden colour.
- This recipe makes approximately 60+ biscuits.
This recipe is VERY easy to make changes to. Add a few spoonfuls of cocoa for choc bikkies. A packet of chocolate chips, or some peanuts or dried fruit or whatever you like!
Today, I made double choc chip. A few spoonsful of cocoa (and slightly less flour) and a 250g pack of white and of milk choc pieces. DELISH!
Also if you have a mix master this is very easy to make. Use the beaters for the butter/sugar/milk mix then swap to the dough hooks when you add the flour.
Pics hopefully to come.
Also I found that when adding all the cocoa and choc chips, the mix is VERY stiff so I added a tiny bit of milk to help it mix easier.
We made these biscuits for my wedding afternoon tea. :)
