Method
- Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl and set aside.
- Place the butter, sugar and vanilla into the bowl of a freestanding mixer with a paddle attachment. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Add the egg and beat until combined. If the mixture looks slightly curdled add 1 tablespoon of the flour mixture and beat until the mixture is smooth.

- Roll out the dough between two silicone sheets or baking paper until 8 mm thick.
