Instructions: Beat butter and sugar together till light.

Sieve baking powder, salt and flour together.

Add flour, essence to butter and mix to form a lump.

Fold in crushed walnuts. Form small flattish rounds.

Press in a walnut quarter on top.Preheat oven.

Place some biscuits at a time on a baking sheet.

Place far apart enough to allow the biscuits to expand.

Bake at 150C for 6-7 minutes or till light brown.

Cool well before removing. Store in airtight jars.

Repeat for rest.

Note:
Preferably use two baking sheets to allow quicker baking. One cools while the other bakes. By baking sheet I mean a non stick oven tray, a greased flat tray or oven proof paper.

Variation: You may use almonds, or cashews instead of walnuts.
