Iced Biscuits

This recipe makes 40 biscuits and are great sandwiched together with seedless raspberry jam and decorated with glacé icing.

Ingredients

100g unsalted butter, at room temperature
100g caster sugar
1 egg lightly beaten
2tsp vanilla extract
275g plain flour

Cream the butter and sugar together until pale and fluffy.

Mix the egg with the vanilla and add to the mix a little at a time until combined.

Stir in the flour and bring together to form a dough.

Pre-heat the oven to 190C

Roll out to 1/4" thick and cut into 2" rounds then bake in the oven for 4-5 minutes until pale golden.  Cool on a wire rack.

For the icing

Mix icing sugar with a little lemon juice until you get the consistency of thick syrup, if you want different colours separate the white icing accordingly and add a few drops of food colouring.  1 tsp of icing is enough for 1 biscuit.

Sandwich the biscuits together with jam, ice the top and decorate.
