My Mummy's Pennies: Easter Baking

As we are enjoying the lovely beaches of Cornwall, the lovely Kate from Family Fever has kindly written up some Easter recipes for us to enjoy….

With Easter almost upon us and a lot of children now being on school holidays, baking is a great way to keep the kids occupied and create some delicious treats too.

 Here are 2 of my favourite Easter baking recipes – quick, easy and really tasty.

Easter biscuits

Ingredients:

•

Icing pens/sprinkles to decorate

Method:

•

Cut the butter into small pieces, then add the flour and sugar

•

Rub the butter between your fingers to make tiny crumbs

•

Squeeze everything together to make a dough

•

Knead lightly, then place between 2 sheets of baking powder and roll out thinly

•

Peel off the top piece of paper and cut out shapes – maybe Easter eggs?

•

Place on a baking tray, and bake for 10 minutes at 180 degrees.

•

Once cooled – decorate in any way you like!

Easter nest cakes

Tablespoon golden syrup or honey

Method:

•

Break the chocolate into pieces and melt
