Ingredients
Biscuit Ingredients
- 2 happy eggs
- 1 cup of caster sugar
- 2 cups of plain flour
- 100g butter
- Zest & juice of 1 orange
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp mace
- 1 tsp nutmeg
Icing Ingredients
- 250g icing sugar
- 120g butter
- 1-2 tbsp milk
- Food colouring to suit
Method
- Blend butter and sugar together to form a creamy paste.
- Mix in happy eggs, Zest, juice, flour and spices.
- If it's too dry, add a little warm water.
- Roll into 1 inch diameter balls. Place on greased Baking tray, with 1 inch space around each one. Gently flatten with a fork. Place in preheated oven at 180°C/350°F/Gas Mark 4 for 12-14 minutes or when just started to Brown around edges. Leave to Cool.
- For the icing: Mix butter and icing sugar in a bowl, adding milk as needed for a smooth paste. It's much easier if you warm the butter first.
- For a spooky spider's web spread icing over biscuit.
- Then, with a piping bag or icing pen, draw concentric circles with coloured icing.
- Quickly, while the icing is still wet, use a toothpick to drag a line from the centre of the circles to the outside edge, every 30°or so. Hey presto! A spider's web and a perfect treat this Halloween!
