Holiday Baking

Loving the break, and been baking some of my fave biscuits - ones that are tasty, not high in calories, that dont leave you with the guilt :), for all to enjoy. Im gonna share them with you - these are easy to make, quick and fun!

This is the basic recipe which allows you to mould and get creative with your biscuits.






1 Cup Margarine (at room temperature)
1 Cup Plain Flour

Pinch salt
1/2 tsp Baking Powder

1/2 Cup Icing sugar
1 Cup Cornflour
This makes around 30 biscuits

1. Preheat the oven to gas mark 4/180C, grease 3 baking trays
2. Beat the sugar and margarine till pale in colour, you can do this with a wooden spoon, you dont need an electric mixer.
3. Sift all the dry ingredients and add to the creamed mixture. Using your hands blend all ingredients together till combined. Mixture should be soft, if sticky add a dusting of flour.
4. Divide the mixture into 3 parts, take 2 parts and roll out to 2 inch thickness. Using a cookie cutter, I have used a flower and other shapes, cut out the shapes and place on greased trays. Place these in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or untill they start turning golden in colour.
5. Lastly roll out the rest of dough and using a nozzle press the dough through to create florets onto the baking tray. Bake in moderate oven for 20-25 mins.
6. Once baked, remove from oven and let them cool. Decorate as desired, I have used chocolate and silver sweets. Enjoy!
