Easter Biscuits
Makes 20-25

Ingredients
110g (4oz) caster sugar, plus extra for dusting
110g (4oz) butter, softened at room temperature
1 egg, separated
good hefty pinch of ground mixed spice
​225g (8oz) plain flour, sieved
50g (1.5oz) currants or seedless raisins
15g (.5oz) candied orange and lemon peel
2 tablespoons of milk
​
Method
Heat oven to 160C (325F, gas 3). Line baking trays with greaseproof paper.
Cream the butter and sugar together, with a wooden spoon or electric mixer, in a medium to large sized bowl until pale and fluffy. Beat in the egg yolk until well combined.
Fold the flour and spice into the mixture and stir in the fruit and peel.
Add a small amount of milk and bring the mixture together with your hands, adding extra milk if necessary until you have a stiff dough.
Roll the dough onto a lightly floured surface and cut out the biscuits with fluted cutter (6.5cm 2.¾in) to about 3 or 4mm. Place them onto the baking sheets and bake for 10 minutes.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and brush them with the reserved egg white and sprinkle with sugar. Return to the oven for around 10 minutes or until a pale, golden brown colour.
Put the biscuits on a wire rack to cool.

I remembered, last Easter, my best friend, Sophia, and I stayed in our apartment and just chill inside. We decided to make our own food and bond as we cook. We searched for some great snacks and found this recipe. We tried baking it and we were not disappointed at the results. The biscuits were delicious and definitely a crumbly treat. This Easter Biscuit makes our Easter much more beaming with joy.

Thanks for your comments about the Easter Biscuits.
Sorry I've not answered sooner, but for various reasons have not been attentive to my pages.
Hope you're still enjoying the biscuits.

    Let's get cooking

    From those early days of peeling potatoes for Sunday lunch and stirring the gravy for mum while she finished the rest of the food, my love of cooking and, indeed, eating has continued to grow
