Cut the dough using shaped cutters and then place your stars, trees, bells, etc on a baking tray. I’m entering Christmas Shortbread Biscuits into a couple challenges this month
Don’t overmix, or the biscuits will become aerated and spread during baking. The trouble with most vanilla biscuit doughs is that they often don’t have enough snap and crunch, going soft within hours of baking, and they usually just taste – dull
I kept one log plain and rolled the cut cookies in sugar sprinkles before baking. That, and maybe your entire online order of Christmas gifts mysteriously vanishes from the face of the earth
Neither of us is particularly gifted at baking but the first batch of Christmasbiscuits always felt like the “launch” of the Christmas season, even if some of the biscuits were slightly darker than anticipated
Cut the dough with cookie cutters and place in a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake about 15 minutes until the biscuits begin to turn golden brown (the time depends on the oven)
Prepare the baking tray with twelve cupcake cases. There are approximately eleven days, fifteen hours, nine minutes and twenty eight seconds until Christmas Day
This tried-and-tested recipe comes from Nigella Lawson’s How to be a Domestic Goddess and is the one I always turn to when the children fancy a spot of biscuit baking
There was a hint of spring in the air yesterday and it called for a bit of Easter baking – some Spring Biscuits to celebrate those first warm rays, the blossom unfolding, the lambs gambolling and all that sap rising
I have already posted the Christmas crumble muffins and the Christmas pudding truffles – all three will feature in this festive children’s baking session
Mix in the flour, baking powder, mixed spice and vanilla until a dough forms. Using Christmas shaped cookie cutters, you put a seasonal hole in the middle of your average biscuit
But I do love to buy new baking recipe books. )I chose to buy the Biscuiteers book after reviewing one of their hand iced biscuits and wanting to give it a go myself
Expect to see chutney, fudge, truffles and biscuits. I love everything about it, from the smell of the Christmas tree to the delicious dinner, crackers and giving gifts
Each tin includes all of the key ingredients to make ‘Love Heart Jam Biscuits’ including a bag of caster sugar, a bag of plain flour, a pot of Bonne Maman strawberry jam and a heart cookie cutter
These days if you say "bread pudding" most people assume you are talking about "bread and butter pudding" - layers of sliced stale bread, dotted with dried fruits and butter, and soaked in a custard sauce, before baking
This cake takes a long time to bake so it's important to prepare your tin well before baking. Yesterday afternoon I baked my Christmas cake, I feel all lovely and organised now
Well actually I can as I have been so busy with Christmas preparations, present buying, wrapping, present making (mainly jewelry) and even though I haven't blogged there has been a lot of baking
They are one of my favourite biscuits, not hard or tricky to make with the right ingredients (you MUST use unsalted butter though) and a little bit of effort
Place the folded dough onto a lined or greased baking tray and cover with a damp tea-towel. Fragrant Christmas stollenIt is something of an understatement to say that I love stollen as an alternative to Christmas cake
