Rosalie's Lady Alice Biscuits

Perfect for christmas biscuits as trees, bells, and stars when you ice in different colours.

Ingredients:
6oz     plain flour
6oz     butter (take out of fridge so it softens)
2oz     custard powder
2oz     icing sugar
(6oz = 170g, 2oz = 57g)

Method:
Preheat oven to 180 degrees. 
Sift dry ingredients together.
Cube butter and rub in until it forms a dough.
Roll out to about 5 mm thick and cut with cookie cutters into shapes, and place evenly spreado on a lined baking tray.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until just starting to golden. Turn tray around partway though cooking so they brown evenly.
Take out and cool on a rack before icing and decorating however you like.

Melting Moments:
This same mixture can be made into melting moments, just roll into small balls and place on the tray, then press each ball with the back of the fork to flatten slightly.
These take slightly longer to cook than the flat biscuits, when done join in pairs with a lemon glace icing.

Summary:
Preparation 20 minutes, cooking time 12-15 minutes per tray.
