Method
- In a mixing bowl, beat the butter with the sugar and muscovado sugar until pale.
- Beat in the egg, vanilla bean paste or extract and peanut butter. Sift over and mix in flour, cornflour, bicarbonate of soda and sea salt flakes. Cover and chill for 1 hour until firm.
- Heat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas 4. Roll heaped tablespoons of the mixture into balls and put on a greased baking sheet, spaced 5cm apart. Flatten very slightly with your hand, then mark with a criss-cross pattern using the back of a fork dipped in sugar. Sprinkle each biscuit with a few sea salt flakes, then bake for 12 minutes until golden. Cool on a cooling rack. Store in an airtight tin.
