Iced Biscuits Recipe
METHOD
You will need:
• 100g butter, slightly softened
• 100g caster sugar
• 1 medium Scaman’s Egg
• 275g plain flour
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 200g icing sugar
• Water
Preheat the oven to 190C (170C Fan) and line
a baking tray with greaseproof paper.
Cream the butter and sugar in a bowl.
Lightly beat the egg and slowly add it to the
creamed butter a bit at a time. Then, add the
vanilla extract.
Sieve the flour and stir it in, again bit by bit,
until the mixture makes a dough.
Once your dough is able to form a ball, dust
your worktop with a light dusting of flour. Roll
the dough until it is around 1cm thick.
Cut biscuits out of the dough and carefully
place them onto the baking tray.
Bake in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes until the
biscuits are a pale golden-brown colour. Set
aside for a few minutes, then transfer them to
a wire rack to cool.
To make the icing, place the icing sugar into
a bowl and add the water, a tablespoon at a
time, until you reach the right consistency for
your biscuits. Add food colouring, if you wish!
Once the biscuits are cool, use the back
of a spoon, or carefully use a knife, to ice
your biscuits. Then, get creative with your
toppings!
Christmas Characters
When you’ve used up your eggs for your festive
bakes, don’t throw the boxes away! With a
good splash of paint, googly eyes, and plenty
of glitter, the kids can make fun little Christmas
characters.
Here are some ideas...
Also! Make little holes in the sides and thread a
ribbon through to create bunting.
