Wskazówki

Start by mixing the butter and caster sugar together until well combined and creamy looking. This is best done in a stand mixer with the paddle attachment for 3-5 minutes.

Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until fully incorporated

Add the plain flour and salt, and mix until combined and it starts to clump together

Bring the mixture together into a smooth dough with your hands, and form into a rough disc shape. Wrap the dough in cling film and put it in the fridge to chill for 30 minutes

Meanwhile, pre-heat your oven to 160C Fan/350F/Gas Mark 4, and line a few baking trays with baking paper

Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out onto a floured surface to a thickness of 5mm. Keep turning the dough as you roll, to ensure it doesn't stick to the surface, and add more flour underneath as needed

Cut out your biscuit shapes and place them onto the lined baking trays. You will need to re-roll out the dough to use it all up

Bake the biscuits for 10-20 minutes, until just starting to go slightly golden around the edges.

Leave to cool on the trays for at least 10 minutes before moving to cooling racks to cool fully

Roll out your fondant/royal icing, which you will need to do in batches, onto a surface dusted with icing sugar.

Cut out the same shapes as your biscuits by brushing the back of the fondant/royal icing with water, then place the fondant on top of the biscuit and smooth it out with your finger.

Set the biscuits back on the cooling rack for the fondant to firm up.

Store in an airtight container in a cool place for 3-4 days (although they can last up to a week), you can also freeze them or the dough.
