Easter Egg Biscuit recipe
If you’re looking for a nice and simple recipe, why not try these easy to make biscuits. All you need to do is add 300g of flour, 150g of caster sugar and 150g of slightly salted butter into a bowl and mix it together until it resembles wet sand.
In a separate bowl beat 1 large egg and 2tbsp of vanilla extract together and add them into your first bowl. Using your hands, knead the dough together and shape it into a disc shaped. Wrap this in cling film and pop this into the fridge for 15 minutes.
Once 15 minutes has passed, get the dough out of the fridge, split in half and place one half onto a floured surface. Roll the dough out onto the surface until it about £1 coin thick, then get the egg cutter to cut out your egg shapes – do the same to the other half of the dough. Place all of these onto a greased baking tray and put them into the oven at 180 degrees for 12-15 minutes until pale gold.
Finally, decorate the eggs with your favourite icing and decorations to make them look like Easter eggs! Find the full recipe here.
