How it's done

Dough

In a bowl, mix the butter with all the other ingredients up to and including the salt. Add the eggs, beat using the whisk on a mixer until the mixture becomes lighter in colour. Combine the flour and baking powder, add with the milk, mix in.

Shape the biscuits

Transfer the dough to a piping bag with a smooth nozzle (approx. 14 mm in diameter), pipe approx. 40 mounds (each approx. 3 cm in diameter) onto two baking trays lined with baking paper.

Bake

Approx. 10 mins. per tray in the centre of an oven preheated to 180 °C. Remove from the oven, allow to cool slightly, slide onto a cooling rack along with the baking paper, leave to cool completely.

Icing

Combine the icing sugar and milk, spread over the biscuit bases, decorate with Smarties, leave to dry.
