If you're looking for a simple, quick and fun recipe to keep the kids amused in the run up to Easter, you couldn't get much better than this. We'll definitely be giving this a go during the holidays.
YOU WILL NEED…
100g (4oz) caster sugar
100g (4oz) butter
1 egg, separated
225g (8oz) plain flour
1 tsp Schwartz Mixed Spice
50g (2oz) currants
25g (1oz) candied peel
3 tbs milk
450g (1lb) royal icing sugar (optional)
Selection of food colourings (optional)
STEP 1
Cream the sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg yolk.
STEP 2
Sieve the flour and fold into the mixture with the Mixed Spice, currants and candied peel. Add just enough milk to make a stiff dough.
STEP 3
Roll out the dough and cut out the biscuits using Easter themed cutters. Place on a greased or non-stick baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes.
STEP 4
Remove the biscuits from the oven and brush with the egg white. Sprinkle with sugar and bake for a further 5-10 minutes.
STEP 5
The biscuits can be iced and decorated using icing prepared from royal icing sugar and food colouring. Or for a healthy twist, try decorating with pieces of dried fruit like raisins and chopped up cherries.
