A couple of years ago my mother brought back a book from England called "Cooking for Christmas" edited by Martha Day. It's a terrific cook book full of awfully British food (rich, overly decorated and ever so yummy). Yesterday we had our selves a little Christmas/advent get-together with 40 of our closest friend ;-) and I had baked (amongst other) some lovely Christmas Biscuits, which I had seen in the aforementioned book.
It was a super party and so were the biscuits!
Oh, by the way the recipe is:
75g softened butter is mixed with 50g icing sugar and lemon rind. Beat in an egg yolk and sift in 175g plain sugar and a pinch of salt. Kead together, wrap in film and let sit in the fridge for 30 min. Roll out the dough, stamp out as many biscuits you can. Transfer to baking, mark top of biscuits with a cutter of your choice, chill for 10 min. Mix food colour with an egg yolk and pain the biscuits. Bake for 10-12 min. in a preheated oven (190 degrees). Have fun :-)
Hej Signe, skønt at se nye kager på din blog. Dine julekiks er så fine!! Har du malet dem inden, de kom i ovnen??
ReplyDeleteHej Mai-Britt. Tak.
ReplyDeleteJa, de blev malede, inden jeg bagte dem. Jeg blandede farven op med æggeblomme. Glimmeret kom dog først på bagefter (men mens de stadig var varme).
