Today Monty and I made some button bickies. Mmmm buttery goodness. To be honest Monty requested we do some baking, I got all organised in a kitchen that was foreign to me, found an appropriate recipe in a random cook book in the house that was not mine and then he ran away to play with guinea pigs whilst I baked alone.
Anywho, if you feel like making some buttery button bickies here is the recipe:
125g butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup caster sugar
1/4 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cup plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup custard powder
Preheat oven to 180 C. Line two baking trays with non-stick baking paper. Use an electric beater to beat the butter and sugar until pale and creamy. Beat in milk and vanilla extract. Fold in the flour, baking powder and custard powder.
Press the dough into a ball and wrap in plastic cling wrap. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to rest.
Divide the dough into manageable portions. Roll out one portion on a sheet of non-stick baking paper to about 1cm thick.
Use round cookie cutter to cut out circles, place on baking tray evenly spaced. (I used a gingerbread man cutter also to make 'Daddy shaped' biscuits). Use a button to gently press into the centre of each biscuit, leaving four holes, then use a fork to press lines into the edges of the biscuits.
Bake for 10 minutes or until lightly golden. Repeat with remaining dough. Nom nom nom!
