Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Make up the basic biscuit dough (click here for the recipe), sifting in the cinnamon when you add the flour. Shape into 2 balls, wrap in cling film and chill for 20-30 mins.

  • step 2

    Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface, then stamp out 28 biscuits with a 7-8cm wide cutter. Lay these on non-stick baking sheets. Using a 4cm cutter, cut out the ‘noses’ from half the biscuits. Bake for 10-12 mins until pale golden, then lift onto a cooling rack.

  • step 3

    Mix the raspberry jam with the sifted icing sugar. When the biscuits are cool, spoon a little of the jam onto each whole biscuit, then carefully sandwich the other biscuits on top. Serve as they are, or pipe icing, made with a little water, to draw funny faces.

Great Biscuits, made them with my 7 and 4 year old for a cake sale at school for Red Nose Day. Not all of them made it to school, the girls thought they were lovely. Really need to chill the dough before rolling out. Watch closely when cooking, they burn very quickly.

Hi I made these style of biscuits for my Grandchildren coming last Sunday. I used my own tried & tested Empire biscuit recipe to make the biscuits & just used the picture to fashion the end result. I think it's important to stress , when working with biscuit dough, handle as short a time as…
