--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  12       oz           SR flour
   4       oz           Margarine
     1/2   ts           Salt
   1                    Egg, beaten
   8       oz           Brown sugar
   1       t            Vanilla essence

  Set oven to 350F or Mark 4. Grease a baking sheet.
  Melt the sugar, margarine and vanilla essence together
  in a saucepan very gently over a low heat. Remove from
  the heat. When the mixture has cooled add the beaten
  egg and mix together. Sift the flour and salt into a
  bowl. Make a well in the centre and pour in the cooled
  egg/fat/sugar mixture. Knead into a stiff dough. This
  will be fairly dry, but it needs no extra moisture.
  Roll out the dough on a floured surface into 1/2 inch
  thickness and cut out the biscuits with a 2 inch
  biscuit cutter. Place on the baking sheet with
  sufficient space to allow them to spread. Bake for 20
  minutes until light golden in colour.
