Preheat the oven to 180 C fan/ 200 C/ Mk 6.
In a bowl cream the butter and sugar together with an electric whisk, or a wooden spoon.
Beat in the egg followed by the remaining ingredients apart from the egg white and Demerara sugar, to make a fairly soft dough.
Turn the dough on to a floured surface, knead lightly until just smooth, then roll out on a lightly floured work surface to about 5mm thick. Using Easter shaped cutters, such as egg shapes, bunnies or chicks, cut the dough out into shapes. Re-roll and repeat until all the dough is used up. Brush each biscuit with egg wash and using the extra currants, mixed peel and sugars decorate the biscuits.
Transfer the shapes to two lined baking trays and bake for 10-12 minutes until golden
Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
