Good basic biscuit recipe

[TepidCat]

My 2yr old enjoys making biscuits that we can cut up (i.e. use cutters rather than just drop mixture like you do when making cookies). I've tried a few recipes but none which seems to have a good combination of taste and ease of cutting/rolling

Any ideas

here's a basic one you can add flavours too

Buttery biscuits are better

Here's a good one;

Shortbread stars or cheese stars

4oz butter
4oz plain flour
2oz cornflour
2oz icing sugar (or Parmesan)
Add seasoning for cheese ones

Mix it all together - takes a while to come together into a ball
Roll out to pound coin width cut out into stars or hearts and bake at 180 for 12-15 mins til pale gold colour.

Sprinkle with sugar while hot if you make the shortbread version

Keep for ages too if they get the chance!

Makes a shit load, but I usually halve the recipe.
Enjoy.

Thanks for the ideas. We will have fun trying them out!
