Colourful butter biscuits

Serves: Makes 30 large biscuits
Cooking Time: 50 mins + overnight for proving

Ingredients

  • Biscuits

  • 250g butter, softened
  • 250g icing sugar
  • 630g cake flour
  • 5ml (1 tsp) baking powder
  • pinch of salt

  • Topping

  • 300g white chocolate, melted
  • edible print, available from specialised baking stores

Instructions

1

For the biscuits, beat the butter and icing sugar in a food processor until creamy. Slowly add the rest of the ingredients and mix to form a stiff, pliable dough. If it is too dry, add a little water.

2

Divide the dough into 2 and roll each piece out, then shape into a log about 8cm long. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.

3

Preheat the oven to 180°C.

4

Slice the logs into rounds, each about 0,5cm thick.

5

Line baking trays with baking paper and place the rounds a few centimetres apart. Bake until golden brown, for about 15 – 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and leave to cool.

6

To serve, dip one side of the biscuit into the chocolate and before it sets, cover the chocolate with the print.
