Shortbread Snow Children

Hi Guys!

Today's blog post is shortbread children. It is really simple and easy to make and doesn't take too long either (so not long to wait before you can gobble them up!)

This recipe is from the Mary Berry Baking Bible (it's under special shortbread biscuits) and can be found here.

So lets get started!

Ingredients

175g Plain Flour
75g Light muscavado sugar (I used caster sugar)

100g Butter

                         

You'll also need a girl and boy shaped cutter.

Step 1

Pre-heat oven to 160 degrees Celsius/140 fan/Gas 3 and lightly grease 2 baking trays.

Step 2

Put flour and sugar into a large bowl and rub the butter in with your finger until a dough is formed.

Flour and sugar mixed together

Step 3

On a floured surface, roll out the dough and use the cutters to create the people.

Step 4

Transfer onto the baking trays and bake for 15-20 minutes (mine were done in 15).

Step 5

Leave to cool on wire rack for about 15-20 minutes.

Step 6

Decorate using writing icing pens, making them hats and scarves!
