Ingredients:
100g butter
150g plain flour
50g light muscovado sugar
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
finely-grated zest of one lemon
yolk of one large egg
2-3 tbsp water
currants and marshmallows to decorate
Method:
Cut the butter into small cubes and mix with the flour in a mixing bowl using your hands until the mix resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir-in the muscovado sugar, ground cinnamon and the grated lemon rind then add the egg yolk and just enough water to form a soft dough. Tip the dough onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic before rolling out 0.5cm thick.
Cut out biscuits with a rabbit-shaped cutter or make a template and cut out biscuits with a knife. Transfer each shaped biscuit to un-greased baking sheets and bake in an oven pre-heated to 180°C (160°C fan/350°F/Gas Mark 4) for 10–15 minutes until they're a pale golden colour. Transfer to a wire rack and allow to cool completely.
Decorate each biscuit with currants for eyes and marshmallows for tails, fixing them with a little decorating icing.
