Bunbury Biscuit Christmas Tree

Ingredients - Bunbury

  • 225g of Bunbury Biscuit Mix
  • 50g melted butter
  • 50ml water
  • Pure icing sugar for dusting

Makes 5 Christmas Trees

Ingredients – Royal Icing

  • 250g Pure icing sugar
  • 1 Egg white – for best results, egg should be at room temp
  • 1-2 teaspoon water (if required)

This will make more than enough; any excess can be sealed in a snap lock bag (expel all the air) and popped in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Method

  1. Prepare lined baking tray and pre-heat oven to 180c
  2. Add dry mix, melted butter and water to a mixing bowl
  3. Combine well to form a dough ball
  4. Roll dough to desired thickness and cut 10 x large stars and bake for 7 minutes
  5. Roll dough to desired thickness and cut 15 x large stars and bake for 5 minutes
  6. Roll dough to desired thickness and cut 10 x small stars and bake for 3 minutes
  7. Allow biscuits to cool completely
  8. Prepare the icing in a separate bowl – beat egg with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Slowly add sugar (one tablespoon at a time) and beat/whisk ensuring sugar is incorporated well with each addition.
  9. When all sugar is added, and the icing is smooth and glossy you are ready to go. Be very sparing with the water you don’t want the icing to run
  10. Place 3 large stars on a sheet of baking paper. Spoon a little of the icing sugar onto the centre of each star. Top with another same size star, rotating the star so the points sit at a different angle to the first star.
  11. Repeat layering with more icing and remaining stars to form 3 Christmas trees
  12. Set aside for 20 minutes or until set
  13. Dust liberally with icing sugar
