How to make train biscuits
Place butter, vanilla sugar and sugar into the mixer.
Mix it together until it's creamy and fluffy
Beat the egg lightly.
Mix it into the butter mixture until combined.
Sift the flower and add to the mix in parts.
Fold it firmly together.
Roll the dough into a ball, wrap in cling film.
Allow the dough to rest for one hour in the fridge. Preheat the oven to 175 ° C.
Allow the dough to reach room temperature.
Roll the dough to 1-1.5 cm thickness then cut out trains.
Bake the trains on waxed paper for 10-12 minutes.
While the biscuits cool we roll marzipan thinly.
While the cookies - first on the baking tray and then on a wire rack - are cooling, roll out the fondant thinly
Cut trains out of marzipan or fondant icing.
The little ones can help too!
Puck does his very best.
Press out the loose parts with the same cookie cutter.
Stick the small parts on the trains with a drop of water.
And look, Miffy wants to take a ride! The trains taste especially yummy together with a cup of Gnome tea!
