Preheat the

Put the flour in a food processor.
Add the butter and process until the mixture resembles
coarse breadcrumbs.
Add the icing sugar and vanilla.
Process until the mixture comes together to form a dough.
Knead lightly.
Shape into a thick sausage, 12-inch long and
2-inch in diameter.
Wrap and chill for at least 1 hour, until firm. |

Grease two baking sheets.
Using a sharp knife, cut 1/4 inch thick slices from the
dough.
Arrange
the slices on the baking sheet spaced slightly apart. |

Bake for 8—10 minutes, turning the baking sheets around in
the oven halfway through cooking, if necessary, until the
biscuits are cooked evenly and have just turned pale
golden around the edges.
Leave for 5 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to
cool. |
