My Easter bakes are coming out every week, and I’m thrilled to share my first creation: these Showstopper biscuits! You’re going to love making these with your little ones. Trust me, they’ll be a hit at any gathering!

Why Baking Together is Special

Baking isn’t just about the end result; it’s about the journey! When you bake with kids, you’re teaching them valuable skills. Plus, it’s a great way to encourage creativity. They can decorate their biscuits however they like!

Imagine the laughter and joy as flour flies and sprinkles scatter. It’s a delightful mess, but that’s what makes it all the more fun!

The Ingredients You’ll Need

Before we dive into the baking, let’s gather our ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need:

• 250g unsalted butter, softened

• 200g sugar

• 2 large eggs

• 500g plain flour

• 1 tsp baking powder

• A pinch of salt

• Your favourite icing and decorations

  
  

Let’s Get Baking!

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 180°C (160°C for fan ovens). This is super important for getting those biscuits nice and crispy!

   
   

2. Mix the Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until it’s light and fluffy. This is where the magic begins!

   
   

3. Add the Eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time. Make sure they’re well combined before adding the next one.

   
   

4. Combine the Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet mixture. Stir until it forms a dough.

   
   

5. Roll and Cut: Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 5mm thick. Use cookie cutters to create fun shapes.

   
   

6. Bake: Place the biscuits on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake for about 10-12 minutes or until they’re lightly golden.

   
   

7. Cool and Decorate: Let them cool completely before decorating. This is the best part! Use icing, sprinkles, and anything else you fancy!

   
   

Tips for Perfect Biscuits

• Chill the Dough: If your dough is too soft, pop it in the fridge for about 30 minutes. This makes it easier to handle.

• Experiment with Flavours: Try adding lemon zest or vanilla extract for a twist!

• Have Fun with Decorations: Let the kids go wild with their creativity. There are no rules here!
