Shortbread Dough
Icing sugar shaker
Plate
Water (Boiled and Cooled)
1. Pin out the dough on a clean surface lightly dusted with flour to approximately 4mm. Cut out as many egg shapes as required using the cutter.
2. Place the shapes on a lined baking tray and bake in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.
3. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack. Clean utensils and work surface.
4. Once cooled, brush over the top of the biscuits with a thin layer of apricot jam.
On a clean, dry surface knead the Ready to Roll icing until pliable. Dust the surface with icing sugar and pin out the icing. Cut out the shapes using the same cookie cutter and cover the top of the biscuits. Allow the Icing to firm over.
Put a tiny amount of each colour ProGel into a paint palette or plate. Loosen the consistency with water (or alcohol) to create a liquid food colour. Use the No.2 paint brush to create the design as seen in the picture. To change colour, clean of the brush by swilling in the water and dry off the brush on some kitchen paper. Refresh the water regularly. Allow this stage to dry before moving to step 4.
