Petits beurre/ Marie tea biscuit

I love petits-beurre/ Marie tea biscuit, it has been my favorite biscuit since I was young. I remember good taste of the butter, and its crunchy texture. It is really delicious! :) I can eat a lot once I start...

• Ingredients - about 50 biscuits

• 200g butter

• 160g sugar (original recipe = 200g)

• 2g salt

• 125 g water

• 
  

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 500g flour

• 1 tsp baking powder

Instructions
1. In a small pot at medium heat, blend butter, sugar, salt & water
Turn off the heat once the butter melts completely, add in vanilla extract
Leave it to cool down for at least 20 mins

2. In a large mixing bowl, place flour & baking powder, mix well
Add in butter mixture, beat well until they blend together

Once the dough is formed*, flatten it with the spetula

Use a plastic wrap to wrap it and put it in the fridge for 3 hours, until it is hardened

*Note: the dough will not be firm, but soft & non-sticky. If you really found it too watery, add it a teaspoon of flour at a time

3. Line a baking sheet on a tray, you will need 2 trays and take turn to bake

After 3 hours, sprinkle some flour on the working surface

Preheat the oven to 180°c

Take the dough and separate it into 4 portions

4. For each portion, roll out the dough

- if you have petits-beurre biscuit cutter, use it

- Or you can use any cookie cutter to cut the dough

- Or you can simply use a pizza roller or a knife to divide the dough into smaller portion

Place the biscuits on the tray, leave some spaces between each biscuit

5. Bake for 12-15 mins or until you can see the edges become golden

Leave it cool before serving

Enjoy!
