Mix until it starts sticking together, microwave the mixture for 10-20 seconds to melt the butter, then use your hands to form a paste. Transfer it to a board dusted with caster sugar and roll out to 3mm thick. You may need to dust the rolling pin with caster sugar if necessary. Cut out into shapes either by knife or fluted cutter and arrange on the baking sheets. Bake on a high shelf until the biscuits are just about to brown, remove and cool on a wire rack to make them crispy. Dust the biscuits with the extra sugar and store in an airtight container. |
