Here's how you make stained glass biscuits
Weigh all dry ingredients precisely.
Place them into a big bowl.
Add the sugar and stir it in.
Pour in the milk as well.
Grate the orange skin and add it.
Dived the orange zest over the four.
Spoon the ingredients into the blender.
Pulse the contents a few times in a row in the blender.
Knead the dough quickly but firmly by hand.
Roll the dough into a ball when it feels smooth and supple.
Wrap the dough in cling film, put it 30 minutes in the fridge.
Preheat the oven to 180 ° C.
Sprinkle flour on the countertop and roll out the dough to 1 cm thickness.
Cut out shapes with a large and a same, smaller size cookie cutter.
Cut out holes with the smaller cutters and place the cookies on the tray.
Beat the boiled sweets with a rolling pin into tiny pieces.
Fill the holes to the rim with boiled sweets pieces.
Bake the cookies in 12-15 minutes in the middle of the oven golden brown.
Only when the cookies are baked we see the pink sweets have turned into orange. Not a Christmassy colour!
But when the cookies have cooled and the filling is hard they are placed on the plate and they look pretty after all.
TIP! On top of this blog on the right you see a second batch cookie with some red food colouring stirred into the sweets, to enhance the colour. Now the filling is indeed a beautiful Christmas red!
Merry Christmas!
