Here’s how to make them:

Ingredients from Wasteless Pantry:

1 cup granulated white sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

3 cups self-raising flour (divided into 2 ¾ cups and ¼ cup)

1 ½ tbsp Lemon Myrtle leaves

Ingredients from elsewhere:

1 cup salted butter, at room temperature

1 large egg

Method:

Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and Lemon Myrtle until well combined.

Gradually mix in the flour mixture, one cup at a time, until fully incorporated and the dough forms a cohesive ball. Add the remaining ¼ cup of flour if the dough is sticky.

Set your oven to 175°C (350°F).

Roll balls of dough and flatten them into your chosen cookie size on a lined baking tray.

Place in the middle rack of the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden.

Allow the biscuits to cool on the tray for 8 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
