Ingredients
Method
1.Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced). Line a baking tray with baking paper.
2.Using an electric mixer, beat butter, sugar and essence in a bowl until light and creamy. Add egg, beating lightly until combined.
3.Add flour and baking powder; stir to combine. Divide dough into 2 equal portions. Tint 1 portion with pink food colouring; bring together in bowl.
4.Knead on a lightly dusted surface until smooth and evenly coloured. Shape each dough portion into a disc. Cover with plastic food wrap; chill 15 minutes or until firm.
5.Roll out 1 dough portion between 2 pieces of baking paper to make a 30x20cm rectangle. Repeat with remaining dough portion.
6.Stack dough rectangles on a clean work surface. Starting at along end, roll dough slabs together to form a log. Cover with plastic food wrap; chill for 15 minutes or until firm.
7.Remove plastic food wrap. Using a large sharp knife, cut dough into 1cm slices. Place on prepared tray, leaving room for spreading. Bake for 12 minutes or until golden. Cool on trays (biscuits will firm).
The more thinly you roll out the dough portions, the more pretty swirls your biscuits will have.
