Wallace Biscuits
As baked in preparation for my son’s sixth birthday party which is Wallace and Gromit themed.
I used a basic shortbread biscuit recipe:
6oz plain flour
pinch of salt
4oz butter / margarine
2oz caster sugar.
Sieve the flour and salt together, rub in the butter, add the caster sugar and knead to form a pliable dough.
Roll to 1cm thickness and cut out Wallace head shapes. (I used a small round cutter, well okay a glass and then cut off strips from both side of the circle before forming the head shapes by hand.
Cook for about 35-40 minutes on GM3.
When cool I mixed up some icing with icing sugar, water and pink food colouring. I smeared it on the surface of the biscuits and popped on two white chocolate chips for the eyes.
When dry I added a blob of black writing icing to each chocolate chip to make a pupil and drew an oval for his nose. Then a line of white writing icing outlined with red writing icing to make a mouth for each one.
