A lovely activity to get the all the family involved in this festive season. Place in front of lights for a beautiful stained glass effect! Be sure to show us your creations this Christmas #MakeOursYours
How It’s Done:
- Heat the butter, syrup and sugar together in a small pan until melted, stirring occasionally. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Mix together the bicarbonate of soda, spices and flour in a large bowl. Pour in the buttery syrup mixture and stir to combine, then use your hands to bring together to form a dough.
- Wrap in cling film and place in fridge to chill. The dough will be soft at this point, but it’ll firm up in the fridge.
- Remove dough from fridge and roll the dough out to a thickness of ½cm. Cut out your shapes including the centre and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Crush the boiled sweets and place a small pile in the centre of each biscuit.
- Make a small hole in the top of each biscuit so you can thread a ribbon through once cooled.
- Place biscuits in a preheated oven. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden then leave to cool slightly on tray before removing to wire rack to cool completely.
- Make your royal icing by combining with 70-100ml of cold water until thick and creamy. Then transfer to a piping bag or alternatively you can dip your biscuits into the icing. Decorate each biscuit any way you like and adorn with festive sprinkles.
- Once the biscuits have dried (can take a few hours) thread some string or ribbon through the holes in the top of the biscuits.
