Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°C/180°C(fan)/400°F/Gas 6.
Biscuits
- Sieve 250 g Self-raising flour into a large mixing bowl and add the cubes of 125 g Butter. Rub between your fingers until a breadcrumb consistency is formed.
- Add 125 g Caster sugar, 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon Orange zest and 1 Egg. Mix well to combine everything.
- Use your hands to form into a ball of dough. Transfer to a floured surface.
- Roll the dough out to about 5mm thick. Use a star shaped cutter to cut out stars.
- Place the stars onto a lined baking tray. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the edges start to darken.
- Allow to cool on a wire rack.
Icing
- Sieve 75 g Icing sugar into a bowl and add 1 tablespoon Orange juice and 1 teaspoon Water. Mix well to form a thick icing.
- Decorate each biscuit with the icing and some Sprinkles.
Notes
- Feel free to use different shaped cookie cutters for these Christmas biscuits. They don't have to be stars, they can be any festive shapes like Santa, snowmen or reindeers.
- You can even use half the dough to make star biscuits and then wrap up the other half the make fresh biscuits for guests over the next couple of days.
- You don't have to ice the biscuits, you could just leave them plain.
- Make sure to cool the Christmas biscuits completely before icing, otherwise the icing will just melt right off them.
- If you want to give these star biscuits as presents, then put them in a nice cellophane bag with some ribbon.
