Ingredients
-
75g/6 tbsp butter
-
50g/generous 1/2 cup icing sugar
-
finely grated rind of 1 small lemon
-
1
egg yolk
-
175g/1 1/2 cups plain flour
-
pinch of salt
TO
DECORATE
Method:
-
Beat the
butter, sugar and lemon rind together until
pale and fluffy. Beat in the egg yolk, and
then sift in the flour and the salt. Knead
together to form a smooth dough. Wrap and
chill for 30 minutes.
-
Preheat the oven
to 190'C/375 "F/Gas 5. On a lightly floured surface,
roll out the dough to 3mm/1/8in thick. Using a
6cm/2 1/2in fluted cutter, stamp out as many biscuits
as you can, with the cutter dipped in flour to
prevent it from sticking to the dough.
-
Transfer the
biscuits on to lightly greased baking sheets. Mark
the tops lightly with a 2.5cm/1in holly leaf cutter
and use a 5mm/1/4in plain piping nozzle for the
berries. Chill for 10 minutes, until firm.
-
Meanwhile, put
each egg yolk into a small cup. Mix red food
coloring into one and green food coloring into the
other. Using a small, clean paintbrush, carefully
paint the colors on to the biscuits. Bake for 10
-12 minutes, or until they begin to color around
the edges. Let them cool slightly on the baking
sheets, then transfer to a wire rack.
