Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams unsalted butter
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 1 whole large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture, beating well until thoroughly combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and baking powder.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, and mix until a smooth dough forms.
Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to make it easier to roll out.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 3mm thickness.
Using a rectangular cookie cutter, cut out the biscuits, and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each.
Use a fork to gently imprint a decorative pattern onto the surface of each biscuit, if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Allow the biscuits to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cooled Butterkeks in an airtight container to maintain their crispness.
