Butter Biscuits

       When Mr R asked me if I would make Butter biscuits for him after tasting them in a bakery, I got a little frenzy not knowing what will turn out from my first attempt, the bakery ones were very delicious and I was wondering if I can make anything close to it. After blogging for a while and fixing my mind with a recipe and boosting confidence I got ready for the task. I started around 5"o clock in the evening, every step went by smooth and these little treats were all done in 20 minutes. 

      Then finally I waited for my dear food critique to arrive and kept my fingers crossed. Mr R was very excited when he saw the biscuits on the table. He straight rated it to a 5 star. Together with the family we finished every bit of it. I am very happy to share this quick and simple treat with all of you.
