Butter Biscuits

This recipe is from taste but I have altered it to be low salt.

Ingredients:

• 125g no added salt butter, softened
• 1/2 cup caster sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 egg, at room temperature
• 2 cups plain flour
• 1 teaspoon salt skip baking powder
• 1-2 tablespoons milk

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper.
2. Using an electric mixer, beat butter, sugar and vanilla in a small bowl until pale and creamy. Add egg and mix until well combined. Sift flour and baking powder over butter mixture. Add milk and stir until just combined. 
3. Using 2 teaspoons of dough at a time, roll dough into balls. Place on baking trays and flatten biscuits slightly (allow room for spreading).
4. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, swapping trays over in oven after 10 minutes, or until light golden.
