<\/p>\nHurrah! School is out for the Easter holidays!<\/p>\n
Celebrate with the kids this holiday with this fantastic Easter treat from our friend Kate, founder of Junior’s Pantry.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
What you Need:<\/p>\n
What you do:<\/p>\n
First turn your oven on to 180 degrees \/ Gas mark 4 to heat up.<\/p>\n
Make sure the butter is very soft and then this couldn’t be easier. \u00a0Mix the butter and sugar together until creamy, add the lemon zest.<\/p>\n
Separate the eggs (the whites will make great meringues) and add the yolks to the butter and sugar mixture.<\/p>\n
Add the flour and currants and stir until it starts to come together, you may need to get your hands involved to combine it all.<\/p>\n
Take some flour and sprinkle onto a clean bench.<\/p>\n
Put the biscuit dough (now a nice ball) onto the flour and then with a floured rolling pin roll out until about the thickness of a \u00a31 coin – add more flour if it’s getting very sticky.<\/p>\n
Using a cutter of your choice, cut out the biscuits and place on a baking sheet lined with baking parchment, the biscuits don’t spread too much so you can put quite a few on one sheet.<\/p>\n
Bake for about 10 – 15 mins in the oven, they should be golden brown and can turn quite quickly so do keep an eye on them.<\/p>\n
Let them cool on the tray for about 10 mins before putting on a wire rack.<\/p>\n
When completely cool mix some icing sugar (about 3 tbps with a tiny amount of hot water until you get a smooth paste that will stay on the biscuit) and ice the biscuits.<\/p>\n
Decorate with eggs, sprinkles or a little chick!<\/p>\n
