Recipe Information
Step by step guide to making Festive iced stars
- Preheat the oven to 180°C, fan 160°C, gas mark 4. Line a couple of baking trays with baking paper.
- Using an electric whisk, cream the butter and caster sugar together until light and fluffy. Tip in the flour, beating until the dough resembles large breadcrumbs.
- Bring the dough together with clean hands and roll out on a lightly floured surface to 5mm thick before cutting into 70 stars using a 6.5cm star cutter (or any other shape if preferred).
- Place on the lined baking tray and chill in the fridge for 15 minutes, then bake for 12-15 minutes in batches until the biscuits begin to turn golden at the edges.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on the baking sheets before spreading ½ teaspoon raspberry jam on half the biscuits. Top with the remaining biscuits to create sandwiches.
- To make the glaze, stir the icing sugar, the extra tablespoon of butter and 2 tablespoons of water together.
- Spread the glaze over the top of the biscuits (or pipe on a design) and decorate with a glacé cherry piece. Allow to dry before storing.
Cook's tip: These festive biscuits would make a great gift, when dry warp and place in pretty gift boxes for the perfect edible gift.
