Makes 24<\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n

150g butter, softened<\/p>\n

50g icing sugar, sifted<\/p>\n

1 tsp Staffords Vanilla Extract<\/p>\n

Pinch sea salt<\/p>\n

150g flour<\/p>\n

1 \u00bd Tbsp corn starch<\/p>\n

24 Staffords Maraschino Cherries, without the stem<\/p>\n

Method:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Preheat oven to 180\u02daC. Line two baking trays with baking paper.<\/p>\n

Using an electric hand mixer, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.<\/p>\n

Add vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Mix.<\/p>\n

Whisk together the flour and corn starch and then add to butter mixture. Mix until well incorporated.<\/p>\n

Divided mixture into 24 balls. Weighing the whole mixture, and then dividing by 24 and weighing each ball will create perfectly uniform biscuits.<\/p>\n

Roll mixture into balls and place 12 on each baking sheet, spacing them a few cms apart.<\/p>\n

Gently press down the mixture to flatten the biscuit slightly. Finally, add a maraschino cherry to the centre of each one and press down until it fits snugly inside the biscuit.<\/p>\n

Bake for 10-12 minutes until barely taking on any colour. Allow to cool on baking trays and then transfer to a cooling rack.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
