Gaby's Bakery - Shortbread Fork Biscuits

A regular of mine for home and salon. Super healthy, super quick and very easy.

Shortbread Fork Biscuits

Easy-peasy defines this recipe as they only take 20 minutes and just four ingredients. Perfect for unexpected guests or last-minute snacks. My odd name for them is just how I remember the fork making an impression in the top before baking.

Ingredients:
100gms unsalted butter (softened)
50gms golden caster sugar
150gms self raising flour
1 tsp vanilla essence or vanilla bean paste 

Method:
Preheat oven to 165⁰C.

Prepare a lined baking tray. Beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the flour and vanilla, continuing to beat until everything is incorporated and a dough starts to form. Take dessert-spoon size quantities of the mixture, or use a piping bag, and place on the prepared baking tray leaving space between each biscuit as they will spread slightly.

Using a fork, press slightly into each biscuit to flatten it and leave the prong indentation. Bake for appx 10 -12 mins (depending on the size of the biscuits), until they are golden on top.

Enjoy.

Professionally, I wouldn't touch 99% of the hairbrushes for sale on the market. I don't know what goes on inside big companies. One might make plastic household items like bowls and bins, and maybe someone thinks, “Hey, let's make a mould for a hairbrush...

Sometimes a more dramatic change is called for and Rosie was clearly in the mood for something different.

Some days she thought about a very short crop but I thought that was a look we could ease towards gradually. We could start today with a short transformation into a sassy, chic, shorter layered
