A recipe I found at All British Food.com and am posting for ZWT6. These crisp, crunchy biscuits melt in the mouth—hence their name. A freshly baked batch will soon disappear.

8

tablespoons butter (1 stick)
3

ounces caster sugar (1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp)
1

egg yolk
1

teaspoon vanilla extract
1

cup self-raising flour
crushed corn flakes

DIRECTIONS

Grease two baking sheets.
Cream the butter and sugar together until pale and fluffy. Beat in the egg yolk.
Add the vanilla flavouring, stir in the flour to give a smooth dough and divide into about 24 portions.
Form each piece into a ball and roll in crushed cornflakes.
Place the balls on the baking sheets and bake in the oven at 190°C (375°F) mark 5 for 15 - 20 minutes.
Cool on the baking sheets for a few moments before lifting on to a wire rack.
VARIATION.
Instead of cornflakes, use 50 g (2 oz) rolled oats. Press half a glace cherry 8in the centre of each biscuit.
