Easter biscuits are a traditional British cuisine gift, given to guests on Easter Sunday. They have a delicate crunch with a warmed spice flavor, so get your children involved in the kitchen this Easter with these great, fun Easter biscuits.
Pre-heat the oven to 180°C/Fan160°C/350°F/Gas 4. Grease two baking sheets.
Put the butter and Tate & Lyle Light Soft Brown Sugar into a bowl and beat together until light and fluffy.
Beat in the egg and milk, and stir in the mixed peel and currants.
Sift in the flour and spice and mix together to make a firm dough. Knead lightly until smooth.
Roll out the dough to 5mm (¼”) thick and stamp out with the cutters. Place them on the baking sheets and bake for 12-15 minutes, swapping the trays over hallway through, until golden brown. Remove the biscuits from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool
Sift the Tate & Lyle Fondant Icing Sugar into a bowl and mix to a smooth paste with enough water to make a stiff but just spreadable icing. Divide between four bowls and add the smallest amount of each food colouring to create a pastel shade.
TOP TIP
Get the kids involved with icing and decorating the biscuits, they'll love it!
Carefully spread over the biscuits and place a sliver ball for eyes before the icing sets.
TOP TIP
You will also need some Easter-shaped cutters – chicks, rabbits and eggs.
