Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas 4.

Step 2

Cream the butter, Tate & Lyle Caster Sugar and Lyle’s Golden Syrup together in a bowl until pale and fluffy. Gradually beat in the egg and vanilla essence until well mixed.

Step 3

Sift together the flour and baking powder and stir into the mixture until it resembles breadcrumbs. Then gather the mixture together with your hands to form a dough.

Step 4

Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently until smooth. Wrap in cling film and chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes until firm.

Step 5

Roll out the chilled dough to 3mm (1/8 ”) thick and cut into rectangles measuring about 3cm x 8.5cm (1¼”x3½ “).

Step 6

Using a very small plain round cutter or the end of a 5cm (½ “) plain round piping nozzle cut out 3 holes to represent the lights in half of the rectangles only.

Step 7

Place the rectangles on 2 baking trays lined with parchment paper. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until just golden. Carefully transfer to a wire rack to cool.

Step 8

Spoon 3 small blobs of the different coloured jams along the centre of the plain biscuits to represent the traffic lights. Dust the biscuits with the holes with a little Tate & Lyle

Step 9

Icing Sugar and then arrange on top of the jam-topped biscuits. Press down gently so that the jam shows through.

TOP TIP

Kids will love getting involved with these brightly coloured biscuits so why not let them complete step 8 and do the decorating!
