Method
Biscuits:
- Preheat the oven to 180C. Line two baking trays with baking paper.
- Add the butter (250g), sugar (90g), vanilla bean paste (2 tsp), fine rice flour (100g) and plain flour (300g) into the bowl. Blitz Speed 6 / 20 seconds.
- Program 1 minute / Closed Lid / Kneading Function or until a dough has slightly formed. It may take a little longer depending on how cold your butter is. The longer you knead, the better it will come together.
- If the mixture is too dry, add a few drops of milk or water to bring it together.
- Sprinkle the bench with a little flour and pour the dough out onto it. Lightly knead the dough by hand to bring it together.
- Roll the dough out to 0.5-1cm thickness.
- Flour your cookie cutters lightly and cut various sized shapes from the dough.
- Continue to knead, roll out the dough and cut shapes from it until all is used.
- Place smaller shapes on one baking tray and the larger shapes on the other.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until slightly golden.
- Allow to cool completely.
Icing:
- If you need to make your own icing sugar, add sugar (340g) to the bowl and grind Speed 9 / 10 seconds. Set aside in a small bowl.
- Add the egg whites (2) to the clean and dry bowl. Insert the whisk attachment. Mix Speed 2 / 30 seconds, ensuring egg whites are frothy.
- Add the icing sugar (340g) and lemon juice (2 tsp) to the bowl. Mix Speed 2 / 15 seconds. Scrape down sides.
- Place some pink food colouring (2 drops, if using) into the icing mixture in the bowl. Mix Speed 2 / 15 seconds or until thoroughly combined.
- Ice the top of each biscuit with the pink icing and sprinkle with hundreds and thousands.

- Enjoy!
