1/2 lb Low-salt butter 5 tb Icing sugar sifted 5 tb Cornflour; sifted 1 1/4 To 1 3/4 cups plain flour; s -ifted 1 ts Vanilla extract Icing: 30 Butter; softened 1 1/2 To 2 cups icing sugar; sifte -d 1 To 2 tablespoons boiling; wa -ter 1 ts Vanilla extract A pinch of salt Recipe by: AUSTRALIAN VOGUE Beat the butter until light and creamy. Add the icing sugar and beat until combined. Add the cornflour, plain flour and vanilla, and mix at slow speed until just amalgamated. For firmer biscuits, add extra flour at this stage. Lightly butter and flour a baking tray and preheat the oven to 160'C. Make a ball from a level dessertspoon of the mixture and place on the tray, allowing room for the biscuits to spread. Repeat with the remaining mixture. Dip a fork into some flour, knocking off any excess and make an imprint with the tines, flattening the biscuits a little. (Alternatively, the biscuits can be make by spooning the mixture directly onto the tray.) Place the tray on the centre shelf of the oven and bake slowly until the biscuits are just coloured, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven with a spatula and place the biscuits on a cake rack. To make the icing: beat the butter with a wooden spoon. Add the icing sugar and beat until the sugar is almost absorbed into the butter. Add the vanilla and salt and with the addition of a little boiling water, bring to a thick and creamy consistency, balancing with a little more icing sugar if necessary. To Finish the biscuits: join two biscuits together with a teaspoon of icing spread with a knife. Return to a cooling rack until the icing is completely set before removing to an airtight container.
