Suzie's beautiful biscuits
250 grams margarine or butter
3/4 cup icing sugar
1 tsp vanilla essence (or your choice of essence)
2 1/2 - 2 3/4 cups of flour
optional - cherries or nuts to decorate
Cream margarine or butter and icing sugar together
Add essence
Mix in the flour well
I use a cookie press and press onto baking paper
Otherwise you can roll into a ball and flatten the middle to put the cherry on top.
Bake at 350 F or 180 C for 10 minutes until just golden brown.
I never get tired of these biscuits and their presentation is so good. Take these on holiday with you when you visit the Bavarian Hut. Just layer in a sealed plastic container with baking paper between layers.
Make yourself a well deserved pot of tea in your choice of tea. I like intense flavoured black tea with these biscuits but try Earl Grey or even Rooibos (red bush) tea from South Africa. The latter has particularly many health benefits. Sigh...
