I need a recipe for biscuits - basic dough recipe please

[ladylush]

Promised ds we would make biscuits today. Unfortunately I don't have a recipe. I googled but can only find more elaborate recipes. Can anyone help please.

Delia's Shortbread - very easy and yummy!

6oz/175g plain flour
4oz/110g butter/marg at room temperature
2oz caster sugar
extra caster sugar for dusting

Oven - gas mark 2, 150C

Beat the butter with a wooden spoon to a soft consistency, then beat in first the sugar and the sifted flour.

Still using the wooden spoon, start to bring the mixture together and finish off with your hands to form a paste. (I had to add a tiny bit of water to help here)

Transfer this to a board lightly dusted with caster sugar and quickly and lightly roll it out to about 3mm thick, dusting the rolling pin with sugar if necessary.

Use a 3 inch/7.5cm fluted cutter to cut the biscuitgs out, then arrange them on a lightly greased baking sheet, and bake on a highish shelf in the oven for 30 mins. Cool on a wire rack, dust with caster sugar and store in an airtight tin to keep them crisp.

Thank you, sounds great.
