Yogi’s Afternoon Tea biscuits

Ingredients: 

Makes roughly 30 biscuits

• 115g butter
• 200g caster sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 ½ tsp vanilla essence
• 285g self raising flour
• 230g icing sugar
• Lemon juice
• Sprinkles or any decorations you want

Method:

1. Beat the sugar and butter until creamy. Add the egg and vanilla and mix well.
2. Add the flour with pinch of salt and mix until blended.
3. Next, mould the dough into a ball – the mixture may be quite stiff.
4. Put the dough onto your work surface and divide into 2 discs. Wrap each in cling film and refrigerate for an hour.
5. Heat the oven to 180°C.
6. Roll the dough disc onto a floured surface until it’s about 6mm thick. Then cut out biscuits with your cutter.
7. Place your biscuits on a non-stick tray about 2cm apart. Then bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until they’re very light brown around the edges.
8. Remove from the baking tray to cool before decorating.
9. Mix the icing sugar with lemon juice, adding a drop at a time until you have the right consistency (not too runny!). Pour the sprinkles onto a plate.
10. Using a teaspoon, add a small splodge of the icing onto a cooled biscuit. Then press it into your sprinkles, or any decoration you like.
