Plain biscuit recipe that can be

rolled? I want to make plain biscuits, but I want to be able to roll the dough out so I can use my new cookie cutters!

shortbread and lolly cake, Belgium biscuits too.

Shrewsbury Biscuits too.. and Bran Biscuits

I have a recipe given to me by my grandmother that I used to make for my children. It makes lots. For birthdays I used to ice with plain white icing & when dry paint with food colouring.
2oz Butter 1 Egg 1 1/2 cups Flour 2 oz Sugar1 tsp BP
Beat egg & sugar add melted butter then dry ingredients Roll out thin, cut into shapes &bake in mod oven (approx 8 - 10 mins)Ice when cold

This is awesome. Old Edmonds one which I make all the time with my granddaughter.

Shrewsbury Biscuits*(adapted for making in the kitchen whizz)*

125g butter softened (or margarine)
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1 TBSP grated lemon rind
2 cups flour
1tsp baking powder
Raspberry jam (to fill if desired)

Place butter and sugar in the whizz and cream together.
Add egg and lemon rind and whizz again to combine.
Add sifted flour and baking powder, using the machine on pulsewhile the mixture is combining.
Turn onto a floured board, kneadlightly and roll out to about 4mm thickness
Note: roll out part of the mix at a time, as it’s much easier to handle., and over handling can toughen the mixture.
Cut out desired shapes withcookie cutters.

Bake on greased oven trays at 180 deg. for 10-15mins.
When cold biscuits can either be sandwiched together with raspberry jam, with the top biscuit dusted with sifted icing sugar, or biscuits can be left single and dusted with sifted icing sugar.
* If you don't have a kitchen whizz just cream butter and sugar, add egg and zest, then dry ingredients,mix to combine then knead out on a floured board.*

they taste beautiful thankyou
