Step #1

Method (Makes 15-20 biscuits): Place the mix, together with the butter, water and syrup into a bowl. Mix to form a firm dough and chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes.

Step #2

Working on a floured surface, roll out the dough to the thickness of a £1 coin.

Step #3

Cut out shapes using a 7cm (approx.) Christmas tree cutter and place onto 2-3 lined baking sheets, spreading well apart.

Step #4

Then use a 3cm (approx.) Christmas tree cutter and cut out the middle piece from each biscuit. Place a boiled sweet into the centre of each biscuit. Make a hole about 3-4mm (approx.) at the top of each biscuit with a skewer.

Step #5

Bake for 12-14 minutes 180°C (360°F, Gas Mark 4) until the sweets have melted. Bake for slightly longer for crunchier biscuits. Leave biscuits to harden on the trays.

Step #6

Thread with the ribbon and dust with icing sugar.
