Halloween Goodies!!

My friend hosted a wee halloween party on the weekend, and I decided to make a couple things to take with! The cake was actually just a bought sponge (had very limited time!!), iced to look like frankenstein! The lil biscuits are mallowpuffs and mini mint slices that I decorated with fondant eyes, for a sorta monster look, and the cheese biscuits are the following recipe from taste.co.nz, which I used a pumpkin cookie cutter with!

Ingredients

• ¾ cup (110g) plain flour
• ¼ cup (35g) self-raising flour
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 90g butter, chopped
• ¾ cup (90g) finely grated cheddar cheese
• 3 egg yolks
• 2 teaspoons water

Method

Preheat the oven to moderately hot (200°C).

Sift the flours and salt into a medium bowl, rub in the butter then stir in the cheese.

Add the egg yolks and water, mix to form a dough. Knead on a lightly floured board until smooth.

Roll the dough on a lightly floured surface until 3mm thick, cut out 5cm rounds. Place the rounds on baking paper-lined oven trays and prick with a fork.

Bake in a moderately hot oven for about 10 minutes or until browned lightly; cool on a wire rack.
