INGREDIENTS

Biscuits

  • 200g butter
  • 100g castor sugar
  • 300g cake flour, sifted
  • 3ml salt
  • 1 tsp Hinds Spices Cinnamon

Royal Icing

  • 1 egg white
  • 300g icing sugar

METHOD

  • Preheat the oven to 150°C.
  • Cream the butter and castor sugar and work to a soft dough with the sifted cake flour, salt and Hinds Spices Cinnamon. Chill the mixture until firm.
  • Using festive shaped cutters, cut out desired shapes and place onto a lined baking tray.
  • Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes or until firm to the touch.
  • Make the royal icing: whisk the egg whites until frothy, add the icing sugar one spoon at a time, whisking continuously. Place into a piping bag with a small round nozzle and ice as desired.

Chef’s tip:

  • Use a skewer to make holes in the top of each biscuit before baking so that you can later thread each iced biscuit with ribbon and use as Christmas tree decorations.
