Ingredients
225g or 8oz self-raising flour
Pinch of salt
100g or 4oz of margarine or butter
100g, 4oz of caster sugar
1 medium egg
Method
Set oven at 160 fan (Gas 4).
Liz’s Handy Hint – for speed, place all ingredients in a food processor and mix until beginning to clump together.
Sift the flour and salt into a bowl. Rub in fat with finger tips. Stir in the sugar. Add the beaten egg. And then knead well, and form into a ball.
Wrap the biscuit dough in cling film and rest in fridge for 30 minutes.
Roll out to thickness of a pound coin and cut into shapes using your cutter. If the dough is sticky, rollout between two sheets of baking paper. Place shapes on a baking tray lined with baking paper.
Bake in the oven: 160 fan (Gas 4) for 10-12 minutes.
Cool on a wire rack. And then decorate with your choice of icing and decorations!
