Low Chemical / FAILSAFE

The biscuits keep very well and can be made days in advance and stored in an airtight container.

You can use any biscuit dough; I use this one.

The number of biscuits made depends on the size of the cutters used.

Vanilla sugar can be made at home, or substitute caster sugar and 2 teaspoons vanilla essence added to the milk.
