  2. Add the icing sugar, egg, vanilla extract and salt and beat until incorporated.Transfer the dough to a work surface and shape into a disc. Wrap in cling film and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  3. Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out until it is about 5mm thick.
  4. Lay a tea bag down onto the dough for measurement and cut out rectangles using a knife. Using the tea bag again as a guide, trim off the top corners to give the rectangles a tea bag shape. Use a skewer or straw to poke a hole at the top of each one.
  5. Place on a baking tray and refrigerate for 30 minutes again.
  6. Preheat the oven to 180 ̊C/160 ̊C fan/gas mark 4. Bake the biscuits for 10-12 minutes until slightly golden. Leave to cool completely.
