Ingredients
- 1 tsp of baking powder
- 30 fruit pastilles, 10 red, 10 orange, 10 green, cut in half across
- 4 tbsp of golden syrup
- 1 medium of egg
- 175 g of caster sugar
- 100 g of butter, cubed
- 350 g of plain flour
Method
Step 1
Heat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/Gas 4. Line 2 baking trays with non-stick baking parchment. Sift the flour and baking powder into a mixing bowl with a pinch of salt. Rub in the butter until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs then stir in the sugar.Step 2
Beat together the egg and syrup, then pour over the dry ingredients. Mix to form a soft dough. Roll out on a lightly floured surface and cut out 20 rectangles measuring about 4 x 10cm. Lift onto the baking trays. Use a 1cm cutter to stamp out 3 circles from each biscuit.Step 3
Place half a sweet into each circle, with a red sweet in the top hole, orange in the middle and finally green in the bottom hole.Step 4
Bake for 10-12 minutes until the biscuit is pale golden, and the sweets have melted to form coloured ‘windows’. Allow to cool on the baking trays (they’ll be very hot so don’t touch them) until the sweets harden.
