Peanut Butter Biscuits.

I have a guilty secret: I love these biscuits & would eat them every day if I could. Which is why I don't make them too often. In just in loading up this blog page, I have eaten three. So now you see why I cannot be trusted. YOU are however, I am sure, totally trustworthy. Therefore, you must make these right now.

Peanut Butter Biscuits

1 cup plain flour

½ tsp bicarbonate of soda

Pinch of salt

½ cup butter

¾ cup brown sugar

1 egg

1 tsp vanilla essence

1 cup crunchy peanut butter

1. Sift together the flour, soda & salt. Stand aside for later.
2. Using electric beaters, cream together the butter & sugar, until light & fluffy.
3. In another bowl, mix the egg & vanilla & gradually add to the butter mixture.
4. Stir in the peanut butter & blend through thoroughly.
5. Stir in the dry ingredients & then chill for at least 30 minutes, until firm.
6. Preheat the oven to 180oC & grease 2 – 3 baking trays.
7. Spoon out rounded teaspoonfuls of the dough & roll into balls.
8. Place the balls on to the baking trays & press flat with a fork, making a criss cross pattern.
9. Bake for 12 – 15 minutes until lightly coloured.
10. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
11.  Makes approximately 24 biscuits.
