Start by beating the unsalted butter and  icing sugar in a mixer until it turns slight white. Add in the egg, vanilla essence and flour. Mix until a dough is formed.

Next, roll out the dough into 4-5 mm thickness and cut out round shapes with a ring mould. Press the dough firmly into the ring moulds and trim off the excess dough. Using a fork, make holes in the centre of the tarts.

Bake in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes at 180°C. Once ready, remove and set aside to cool down.
