Easter Vanilla Biscuits

Tweet


Directions
Step 1

Cream the butter and sugar with an electric mixer until pale and light.

Step 2

Add vanilla essence and mix well. Add the egg and mix thoroughly.

Step 3

Sift together the flour, baking powder, Bi-Carb and salt. Gradually add to the creamed mixture to form a dough. Wrap dough in cling film and refrigerate for an hour.

Step 4

Preheat oven to 170oC. Line three oven trays with baking paper.

Step 5

Lightly flour the work surface and roll out the dough evenly to a thickness of approximately 5mm. Using cookie cutters, cut out shapes from the dough and arrange on the prepared baking tray.

Step 6

Bake for 10-12 minutes on the middle shelf. Allow the biscuits to cool completely before decorating.

Step 7

TO MAKE ICING: Using an electric mixer, whisk egg whites with lemon juice until combined. Gradually add icing sugar on low speed until smooth. For coloured icing, add a few drops of food colouring of your choice.
