BUTTER BALLS

These biscuits are so simple to prepare and really delicious . Preheat your oven to 160 deg C . You will get about 30 butter balls from the following recipe . Cream 125 gm of butter / marg with 1/2 cup of castor sugar until light and fluffy . Add 1 tsp of vanilla extract with 1 lightly beaten egg and beat well . Mix together 1 cup of all purpose flour with 1/4 cup of cornflour and 1 tsp of baking powder. Now mix into the creamed ingredients . Because we are experiencing warm temperatures , place the combined mixture in the refrigerator for 30 minutes . When the dough is chilled roll teaspoonfuls of the dough into balls . Place the balls on a baking paper covered oven tray and bake in the preheated oven for 12 - 15 minutes . While the balls are still warm , roll them in icing sugar . Cool on a wire tray and store in an airtight container .
