4 oz butter, 4 oz sugar, 1 small egg, 6 oz flour, 1 tsp baking powder, almond essence.

Cream butter & sugar together along with the essence.

Add egg and beat well.  Mix in sifted dry ingredients.

Roll into ball, place on a greased tray and put 1/2 an almond on top of each biscuit. ( I put a spoonful of raspberry jam on top instead of the nut.)

Bake 15 -20 minutes at 350F
