Hi Josie,

Many thanks for contacting us via RedTed.

I think the best solution is to use my favourite easy to bake recipe below, give it a try and let me know if you have an questions. All the best and I hope you enjoy them

Vanilla Biscuits
Butter 125g
Sugar 125g
Golden Syrup 120g
Egg 56 (1 egg)
Plain Flour 402g
Self Raising Flour 50g
Vanilla 1/2 tsp
• Mix the sugar and butter until creamed
• Add the golden syrup, vanilla and eggs
• Mix thoroughly until light and airy
• Add flours and slowly mix until combined (if in electric mixer, the last mix only needs about 40 seconds to a minute)
• the mix can be a little moist, if so, add a sprinkle of flour and knead and form a round smooth ball, pat this down.
• Put dough in fridge for about 2 hours
• Take out, leave for 5-10 minutes to warm up slightly and then roll and cut adding more flour if needed.
• Bake on 130c for 17 minutes, turn the trays around and bake for a further 7 minutes. (You do this to ensure an even bake as most ovens vary in temp from left to right or top to bottom)
• Leave to cool and use the RedTed guide to icing to complete your biccie treats

Do let us know how they do,
Best wishes,
Bhaven

Hi there, these all look wonderful and my daughter has just started her food tech GCSE at school and I would love to get her into something like this and find somethin else we can do together. You mentioned using honey and golden syrup for a smoother, harder surface, would you mind outlining the quantities you add and do you substitute some of it for the caster sugar? Many thanks

I made this icing for valentines biscuits for my husband. Do they look as good as yours? No, but they look amazing considering I made them myself.
I had fun making them and being a complete novice was worried I would stuff it up, but I didnt make any mistakes it was very simple.

I will continue to use this recipe and instructions for future biscuits, and they will only look better as I keep practicing.

Thank You
