Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the maple syrup and mix until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and self-raising flour.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter and sugar mixture. Mix on low speed until just combined.
- Add the milk and continue to mix until the dough comes together. If the dough seems too dry, add an additional splash of milk.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch (6mm) thickness.
- Use cookie cutters to cut out your desired shapes and place them on the prepared baking trays, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Allow the biscuits to cool on the baking trays for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the biscuits have cooled completely, decorate them using the prepared icing. You can pipe the icing using a piping bag fitted with a small round tip, or simply use a spoon or knife to spread it over the biscuits.
- Allow the icing to set completely before serving.
Tips:
- Ensure your butter is at room temperature for easier mixing.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling out to make it easier to handle and cut.
- Use rolling guides or spacers to roll your dough to an even thickness.
- Cool the baked biscuits completely before icing to prevent the icing from melting.
- Use piping bags and small nozzles for more precise and intricate designs.
- Practice your icing technique on a sheet of parchment paper before applying it to the biscuits.
Iced decorated biscuits are not only a delicious treat but also a creative outlet. With a bit of practice and patience, you can craft beautifully decorated biscuits that are sure to please both the eyes and taste buds. Enjoy your baking session and the delightful results!
