We made bird food by, using our hands, mixing lard and birdfood. We then cut it into Christmas shapes, before leaving it to set in the fridge. We then used a skewer to make a hole before threading through some string to hang in our garden!
175g (6oz) butter, softened
100g (4oz) caster sugar
225g (8oz) plain flour
About 20 boiled sweets
1.
Preheat the oven to 160°C/fan 140°C/gas 3. Line two baking sheets with
non-stick baking paper.
3. Roll out on a lightly floured work surface using a rolling pin until the dough is about 0.5cm
(¼in) thick. Use your large cutter to cut out the shapes. If you have a
small version of your chosen cutter use this to cut the middle out of
each shape, otherwise do it by hand, leaving about 1cm (½in) of biscuit
around the edge. Arrange on the baking sheets.
4. Crush the boiled sweets using a rolling pin until they’re fine grains, and sprinkle these grains in the middle of each biscuit.
5.Bake
in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until the biscuits are
a pale gold and the sweets inside them have melted. Leave to stand on
the trays for about 5 minutes to cool slightly, then carefully transfer
to a wire rack and leave to cool completely and firm up.
2.
Measure the butter and sugar into a bowl and beat until smooth; then mix in the flour.
