Teatime without a biscuit to dunk into a warm beverage is not teatime if you are a South African. These butter biscuits are quick and easy and a delicious sweet treat.

The best part is that you can whip them up in less than 30 minutes and have your cookies jars filled to the brim with butter biscuits. Each bite crumbles into a delicate sweet deliciousness in your mouth.

Depending how much time you have, you can really decorate these buttery delights fit for parties, weddings, gifts or other events and occasions.  

If you do not have butter, you can substitute the butter for margarine but it does affect the quality and the taste of the biscuits.
