Decorative Christmas Biscuits
Serves 60 Biscuits
Cooking Time: Prep Time:
Ingredients
- 100 g SAFARI Currants
- 1 kg SASKO Cake Flour
- 10 ml MOIR'S Vanilla Essence
- 5 ml baking powder
- 5 ml table salt
- 250 g butter
- 375 g sugar
- 2 medium eggs
- 2 medium egg whites
- 250 g icing sugar
- 5 ml lemon zest
Method
- Sift the flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, beat the butter and sugar and add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla essence, the flour mixture and currants and mix well until a dough forms. Cover, and place in the fridge for 10 minutes to rest.
- Remove the dough from the fridge, and roll out on a clean surface sprayed with non-stick spray. Press out any shapes you like using cookie cutters. Place the cookies on a baking sheet sprayed with non-stick spray and allow to rest before baking in an oven preheated to 170 ºC for 10 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and while still hot, pierce a hole in the top of each cookie with a skewer, to thread string through later. Set aside to cool.
- To make the icing, combine the eggs, icing sugar and lemon zest in a large bowl and mix well. You can add any food colouring of your choice. Spoon the mixture in to a piping bag and decorate the biscuits to your liking. Thread string through the holes, and use as delicious Christmas tree decorations.
