The Vanilla Hearts




Along with writing, as I mentioned in my prior blog, i simply love baking too. I got my hands on this amazing recipe book my sister-in-law bought from Lahore, Pakistan. It has an amazing collection of 3 course meal recipes. i noted down some of the recipes from there and since then I am trying out these new dishes one by one.
Today after writing my blog, i figured out that i was kind of bored so I tried these Vanilla hearts and they turned out to be really good! So as per my blogging rules, I'll be sharing all that happens in my life with you guys, or may be all that I'll be able to share! :p
Plus with February nearing, Valentine's day is almost here, and this recipe can be heart-winning at this occasion!
Here's the recipe to these delicious, mouth-watering Vanilla hearts!


Ingredients:
Butter:                        150g/5 1/2 oz
Plain flour:               225g/8oz
Castor Sugar:           125g / 4 1/2 oz
Vanilla Essence:     1 tsp
Method:
1. Preheat the oven at 180°. Grease a flat cake/cookie pan.
2. Sift flour in a large bowl, add butter to it and rub with your finger tips until the mixture resembles fine bread               crumbs.
3. Stir in the castor sugar and vanilla essence and form into a firm dough. (add in some oil if need while forming           the mixture into a dough)
4. sift some flour on a clean work surface and roll the dough to a thickness of around 1 inch. Stamp out hearts with      a heart-shaped cookie cutter.
5. shift the hearts to the prepared dish and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the vanilla hearts are golden.
6. dust them with some castor sugar just before serving!

Do let me know how your Vanilla hearts turned out to be? I'll be waiting for your pictures!
