Any Occasion Buttery Biscuits

Posted 2014-04-22 by Veefollow
These biscuits are delicious, easy and fun to make and, with the appropriate cookie cutter, lend themselves to any occasion. I chose to make Easter egg cookies seeing as ‘tis the season.



Preparation Time: 10 minutes || 10 minutes chilling time
Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Makes: 60 biscuits

Ingredients
250g unsalted butter, softened
1 cup caster sugar
3 cups plain flour
½ cup custard powder
½ sour cream
2/3 cup desiccated coconut
300g packet ready-made white icing
Confectionary of your choice, to decorate

Method
  • Beat the butter and sugar in a bowl using hand-held mixer until pale and creamy in texture.



  • Add the sour cream and beat until combined.



  • Stir coconut, custard powder and flour into the butter using a wooden spoon until a dough forms.
  • Rolls the dough into a disc shape and cover using cling wrap, and chill for 10 minutes.



  • In the meantime, preheat oven to 180°C fan force and line 2 baking trays with baking paper.
  • Take the dough and roll out between two sheets of baking paper until about 4mm thick.
  • Cut out biscuits using a cookie cutter and transfer to trays.





  • Bake each tray of biscuits for approximately ten minutes or until biscuits are pale golden.
  • Remove from the oven and cool on trays for about 5 minutes.
  • Transfer to wire rack and cool completely.
  • Dust a rolling pin with icing sugar to prevent sticking and then roll out the ready made icing.
  • Using the same cookie cutter, cut out icing and place on top of the biscuits.



  • Tip: Brush water onto back of icing to help it stick to biscuit.

  • Decorate using chosen confectionary. Brush water onto front of biscuit to help candy stick to icing.



  • Serve and enjoy, or place in an airtight container to retain freshness for later.
