- STEP 3Mix together the dry ingredients, and then add the butter/egg mix. Make sure these mix thoroughly, it may be necessary to use your hands.
- STEP 4Shape the resulting dough into small balls roughly 2cm across.
- STEP 5Place WELL APPART on a thoroughly greased tray, (About 6 on an average sized tray) and bake for 20-25 mins. (If they are still a bit pale after this, turn the oven up a fraction to brown them slightly).
- STEP 6Leave to cool completely on the tray.
