Method of Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to 180.C. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper.
2. Using an electric beater, beat the butter, sugar and vanilla essence in a medium bowl until pale and creamy. Add in egg and beat until combined.
3. Sift flour over mixture and stir well until combined.

6. Set aside on trays for 30 minutes to cool completely.

Teta suggests adding in almonds and/or sultanas to the mixture for extra tasty biscuits.
