Ingredients:
wheat flour, white, all-purpose, unenriched
butter, without salt
sugars, brown
oil, olive, salad or cooking

Directions:
* Preheat the oven to 180 C, 350 F, Gas Mark 4.
Lightly oil 2 baking trays.
Sift the flour into a large bowl and stir in the sugar.
Rub in the butter using your fingertips then knead together, adding the orange or possibly lemon rind, to create a dough.
Turn out onto a floured surface and roll out to about 5mm ( 1/4 inch)
thick.
Using novelty cutters, such as teddy bears and animals, cut out favourite shapes and place onto the baking trays, leaving a small space between each one.
* Bake immediately in the preheated oven for 8-10 min till golden.
* Transfer to a wire rack to cold.
Roll out the icing and cut out shapes the same as the biscuits.
Press onto the biscuits.
Add in a few drops of food colouring to some of the icing and use to make eyes, bows etc to decorate the biscuits.
NOTES : Easy and fun to make and decorate.These biscuits are ideal for any occasion.
