Plain biscuit recipe please?!

Answers:
175g/6oz Plain Flour
100g/4oz Butter or Margarine
50g/2oz Caster Sugar
Pre-heat oven to 150°C/300°F Gas 2
Cream the butter or margarine and caster sugar together until they are light and fluffy. Stir in the flour and once mixed knead the dough together until it forms a ball, add a sprinkle of flour if the dough is at all sticky.
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface until it is about 5mm thick.
Cut out the dough using your chosen cutter.
Place the biscuits on a floured baking tray and bake in the centre of the oven for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
Let the biscuits cool on a wire tray before decorating.
These little healthy cakes are quick and simple to make, I particularly like them because you don't have to use the oven. Almonds are grown here on the island, so there are always plenty around, although I did notice that one of the Almond orchards had been affected by the forest fire that we had in the summer of 2007 which did a lot of damage to the west part of the Island, but fortunately things seems to be getting back to normal and it doesn't seem to have affected the supply of almonds.
There is also an abundance of honey on the Island, each district of the Island produces their own local honey, so you there is a wide selection to choose from, we all have our favourite's of course and it's great to be able to play around with them in different recipes.
The ingredients you will need for this recipe are as follows:-
150g Runny Honey
80g Tahini
100g Ground Almonds
150g Wholemeal Flour
As I say they are very easy to make
Put the honey and tahini in a mixing bowl and blend together well.
Add the ground almond, again blend well.
Add the flour a little at a time making sure that it is mixed in well, until you have a sticky but workable dough.
Put the griddle on to heat up to 150c degrees.
Turn out the dough onto a floured board, and roll out to ?" and cut into 1" -1?" rounds. Using more flour when needed.
This mixture will make around 50 little cakes.
Place them on the griddle a few at a time.
Cook on each side for 3 minutes.
These little cakes can be served hot or cold, I prefer them cold, they make a great healthy bite.
