Have just made biscuits that are too crumbly.... where did I go wrong?

[CadburyCremeSquonk]

Recipe said:

1oz sugar
2oz butter
3oz flour

cream sugar & butter then add flour, knead, roll out, cut shapes and bake for 10 mins, gas mark 4.

Had difficulty keeping the dough together to knead, but I persevered, twas tough rolling it out in one piece, but I managed it eventually. Very difficult getting cut out shapes from worktop to baking tray but I did that as well.

Baked them, then when I took them out of the oven, they fell apart.

Obviously, I should have expected this. But, WHAT DID I DO WRONG?

Any advice much appreciated

anyone?

sounds like alot of flour tbh

thank you, pinktulips. Will try again tomorrow with a bit less flour.
