- Pre-heat oven to 180 C / Gas 4.
- Sift the plain flour into a large mixing bowl and add the sugar. Rub in the margarine or butter until it resembles breadcrumbs and then bring the mixture together into a large ball.
- Roll mixture out to 5mm (1/4 in) thickness. Cut using a biscuit cutter (of your choice).
- Lift biscuits onto 2 or 3 lightly greased baking trays, making sure they are well spread out.
- Bake for about 15 minutes or until golden brown.

Very easy to use and exactly what I was looking for. I added rolled oats and raisins, I just needed a dash of milk to form into a dough. They went down a storm at work! - 10 May 2014
Very easy to make. Was wonderfully shortbread-ish. New favourite biscuit recipe. Might add something to it next time for fun. Should have taken pic sooner lol - 22 Nov 2014
My son and I are new to baking. We wanted something easy to bake and we could decorate with icing and sprinkles after. This was perfect! They taste very nice too. - 21 Dec 2014
