When my children were at school I used to bake a batch of biscuits at least once a week and these were a great favourite.  I must have written this recipe out for Mum grabbing the first bit of paper I could find and used a texta to write with, not a great piece of penmanship.  It comes out of one of my biscuit cookbooks that was published in the 60s, but I made them a lot later than that.  You’ll need 125g of butter.
