- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons milk
Directions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
Step 2
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture, beating well until thoroughly combined.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and baking powder.
Step 4
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, and mix until a smooth dough forms.
Step 5
Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to make it easier to roll out.
Step 6
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 7
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 3mm thickness.
Step 8
Using a rectangular cookie cutter, cut out the biscuits, and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each.
Step 9
Use a fork to gently imprint a decorative pattern onto the surface of each biscuit, if desired.
Step 10
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Step 11
Allow the biscuits to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 12
Store the cooled Butterkeks in an airtight container to maintain their crispness.
