Ingredients

  • 1 lemon, finely grated zest only
  • 200 g of plain flour
  • 300 g of ready-to-roll icing
  • 100 g of semolina
  • 2 food colouring, we used pink and yellow
  • 200 g of butter, cold
  • 100 g of caster sugar
  • 1 pack of writing icing pens

Method

  1. Step 1

    Heat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/Gas 4. Sift the flour into a mixing bowl, then stir in the semolina, sugar and lemon zest.
  2. Step 2

    Coarsely grate the butter into the bowl. Rub into the flour mixture and bring together so it forms a ball. Roll out on a lightly-floured surface and, using cutters or a template, cut out 20 egg-shaped biscuits.
  3. Step 3

    Lift on to parchment-lined baking trays, set well apart and bake for 18-20 minutes until pale golden. Cool on the tray for 10 minutes then transfer the biscuits to a rack to cool completely.
  4. Step 4

    Colour the icing by kneading in a few drops of food colouring then thinly roll out on a surface dusted with icing sugar. Use the same cutters you used for the biscuits to stamp out identical shapes in icing. Stick the icing on to the biscuits with a dot of writing icing. Press down and smooth out.
  5. Step 5

    Draw on patterns with the icing pens.
