Using a basic biscuit mix, we made some 'men' bix and decorated them with runny icing... trying to see which was the best representation of a skeleton.
The ingredients we used were -
- 200g unsalted butter, softened
- 200g caster sugar
- 1 medium egg, beaten
- 400g Dove's Farm Gluten Free plain flour
The butter and sugar were creamed together using an electric hand mixer. Once they were soft and fluffy looking, the egg and flour were added. This was mixed well, first with the mixer, and then using a silicone spatula until a dough was formed. (At this point, you can roll the dough into a sausage shape, wrap in cling film or greaseproof paper, put in a plastic bag and freeze for later use.) We rolled out the dough, to about 4-5mm thickness, on a silicone sheet and used a gingerbread man cutter to shape them. They were cooked on a greased, non-stick baking sheet for 8-10 minutes in a pre-heated 170ºC oven. Once lightly browned, they were cooled for 5 minutes on the sheet before being transferred to a wire rack to cool completely before decorating.
Once cooled, they were decorated using ready made icing... in various 'scary' skeleton-like designs.
Some were placed in airtight containers for later consumption... but were keen to attempt an escape!
