Flavourings

plain - add vanilla to butter for plain biscuits (vanilla paste is best, but essences works)

orange & poppyseed - grated rind of 1 orange to butter, 2Tbs poppy seeds to flour

m&ms - use cooking m&ms available in cooking aisle

pistachio & lemon - grated rind of lemon to butter, finely chopped pistachios to flour (cooking nuts available in the cooking aisle)

I've made chocolate ones, but can't remember the recipe off the top of my head (I've typed this one hand with bub on the b@@b!)

Beat all together until all combined. Start with 3 cups of flour and add 4th cup gradually until stiff biscuitty dough consitency is reached.

Refrigerate.

Preheat oven to 200c and use teaspoon sized balls of dough.

Cook until golden brown.

Nice as jam drops, with a dollop of jam in the middle.
