Recipe Notes

from Australia’s Best Recipes team

You may wish to freeze some of the dough if you don't want to make a full batch of biscuits. These are a lovely little biscuit, and they last for up to two weeks in a good airtight container. Make sure they are cold before you ice them. I know it looks like a lot of Vanilla is added. If you don't like that much, you can omit some.
