How to Make
Method:
- Preheat the oven to 180°C. Using an electric whisk or wooden spoon mix together the butter and icing sugar. Then mix in the milk, vanilla extract and flour.
- Sprinkle a clean surface with flour and then roll out the dough. Then take your bird cutter and cut out bird shapes.
- Place the bird shaped dough on to a buttered or grease-proof covered baking tray and bake for 6-8 minutes.
- Once baked, allow to cool for at least 30 minutes on a cooling rack.
For icing:
- Mix together the icing sugar and water, then separate the mixture and add a food colouring to each bowl of icing.
- Once the biscuits have cooled, spread the icing onto each biscuit.
- Once the icing has set, take your edible icing pen and draw on a dot for the bird’s eye.
