Granny Kit'S Biscuits

Directions

1. 1
   Pre-heat the oven to 350F/180C.
2. 2
   Soften the margarine (I used my fingers) then add the sugar in parts, beating until smooth.
3. 3
   If you are adding any essence, I suggest adding it now.
4. 4
   Gradually sift in the flour and mix until it forms a dough like substance (flavouring can be added with the flour, lemon rind, cocoa etc).
5. 5
   Using your hands, form into balls the size of walnuts and flatten onto a greased tray, using a fork dipped in water.
6. 6
   At this stage I sprinkled a few chocolate chips onto the biscuits.
7. 7
   Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, and leave to cool for at least 20 minutes (longer if you've used chocolate).
