Mother's day is this week and we can't wait to treat mum on Sunday. To celebrate, we’re sharing a special how-to of one of our favourite Mother’s days biscuit collections, just for our blog readers. Dads why not take a little inspiration and get the kids involved with some biscuit icing? If you have a go at making your own send us your creations and tag us on Instagram or Twitter. How to ice button biscuits: To get started, follow our easy vanilla dough recipe to make your biscuits, we've used a rectangle and a small circle biscuit cutters to create our shapes. For your royal and line icing, use our simple guide to biscuit icing. You will need white, red, yellow, green and pink line icing, plus white and blue flood icing. ![]()
Bake your biscuits and whilst they are cooling, it's time make up your icing.
Using your red line icing, outline the shape of the circular biscuit.
Then using your flood icing, slowly flood the frame of your biscuit. Don't add too much as it will spill out of the sides of the biscuit.
Put the biscuits in the oven on a baking tray, set the oven to the lowest temperature it can go (usually around 50°C) for 40 minutes.
To finish use the white line icing to create a smaller circle (like above) and then use red icing for the buttonhole details. ![]()
