2 cups plain flour

Directions:
Leave butter out of fridge till really soft. Mix with electric mixer till nearly white in color. Add in icing sugar and mix well again. Add in flour, one cup at a time, mixing after each addition. If mixture is still a little wet, add a little more flour. Roll mixture onto floured bench (like a sausage) and cut with a blunt knife into round biscuits. Bake in a slow/moderate oven (325ºF) for 20-25 mins.


NOTE: Biscuits (cookies to Americans) should be just lightly browned not too brown, or they will be rejects.
