Method

  1. Step 1:

    Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan, gas mark 4). Lightly grease 2-3 baking trays.

  2. Step 2:

    Cream the butter & sugar, until light & fluffy.

  3. Step 3:

    Add the egg yolk in and mix before folding in the flour and spices.

  4. Step 4:

    Make the mixture into a dough & chill for 30 mins.

  5. Step 5:

    Roll out the dough on to a lightly floured surface, ¼ inch thick and cut out Easter shape biscuits using a variety of biscuit cutters.

  6. Step 6:

    Place on a baking sheet and bake for 8 minutes.

    Decorate each biscuit with a different design – the biscuit should have a full covering of icing.
