Iced Easter Biscuits

Serves 36

Points per serving: 2 (original points)

225 g butter

125 g caster sugar

275 g flour, plain

50 g dried semolina, or ground rice

50 g icing sugar

Preheat the oven to Gas Mark 4/180°C/fan oven 160°C/350°F. Beat the butter until softened and gradually beat in the caster sugar. Add the flour and semolina, working it in with a wooden spoon. Gather the dough together with your hands, then knead for a few moments until smooth.

Roll out the dough thinly on a lightly floured surface. Stamp out shapes using biscuit cutters. Arrange on baking sheets.

Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until light golden brown. Cool on wire racks.

Mix the icing sugar with a little water to make a smooth glace icing, then use this to decorate the biscuits.
