Great kids recipe for Schwartz Easter Biscuits

If you're looking for a simple, quick and fun recipe to keep the kids amused in the run up to Easter, you couldn't get much better than this. We'll definitely be giving this a go during the holidays.


YOU WILL NEED…

100g (4oz) caster sugar

100g (4oz) butter

1 egg, separated

225g (8oz) plain flour

1 tsp Schwartz Mixed Spice

50g (2oz) currants

25g (1oz) candied peel

3 tbs milk

450g (1lb) royal icing sugar (optional)

Selection of food colourings (optional)



STEP 1

Cream the sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg yolk.

STEP 2

Sieve the flour and fold into the mixture with the Mixed Spice, currants and candied peel. Add just enough milk to make a stiff dough.

STEP 3

Roll out the dough and cut out the biscuits using Easter themed cutters. Place on a greased or non-stick baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes.

STEP 4

Remove the biscuits from the oven and brush with the egg white. Sprinkle with sugar and bake for a further 5-10 minutes.

STEP 5

The biscuits can be iced and decorated using icing prepared from royal icing sugar and food colouring. Or for a healthy twist, try decorating with pieces of dried fruit like raisins and chopped up cherries.
