Step 1

Pre-heat the oven to 180°C/Fan160°C/350°F/Gas 4. Grease two baking sheets.

Step 2

Put the butter and Tate & Lyle Light Soft Brown Sugar into a bowl and beat together until light and fluffy.

Step 3

Beat in the egg and milk, and stir in the mixed peel and currants.

Step 4

Sift in the flour and spice and mix together to make a firm dough. Knead lightly until smooth.

Step 5

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

Step 6

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!

Step 7

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.
