Method

Beat butter, icing sugar, salt and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until just combined.
Add egg and beat well. Add ground almonds and mix well. Add flour and fold through completely. Using a bench scraper, mix batter until a smooth dough is formed. Wrap dough in cling film, then place in the refrigerator to rest for at least 3 hours.
