You will need:
1 cup of plain flour
2/3 cup of butter
2/3 cup of brown sugar
1 small egg - beaten
2 teaspoons of mixed spice
For the icing:
2/3
cup of icing sugar
1-2 tablespoons of hot water
Food coloring (your choice)
-
Mix up the butter and the sugar until light
and fluffy. Slowly beat in the egg a little at
a time
Sieve the flour, salt and spice. Mix this with
the butter, sugar and egg mixture until you
have a firm ball of dough
-
Roll out the dough using a rolling pin until
it is 1/2cm thick
-
Cut out star shapes using a star cutter
Place the shapes on a greased baking tray and
bake in the oven for 15 minutes (375°F)
To make the icing, mix together the icing
sugar and hot water, then add the food
coloring - any color will do but I like red!
When the biscuits have cooled, spread the
icing on each one
For that extra fairy touch, decorate the
biscuits with silver balls (or other
confection) but make sure you put the balls in
the icing before it sets!
Once baked and iced they become spicy fairy
stars!
