The Scream |
Happy Halloween! Here in the back of beyond we have an annual pumpkin carving competition on Halloween. So instead of trick or treating the children and some adults carve a pumpkin and leave it lit outside their houses and each year a different secret judge goes around judging the pumpkins and awards prizes. It is lovely to walk round the village after dark seeing all the wonderful pumpkins.
My creativity is kept firmly in the kitchen. I created a batch of Halloween biscuits for all the children visiting the pumpkins. My son enjoyed decorating the biscuits and eating them with all his friends.
Basic Butter Biscuits
Pre heat the oven to 180c
Mix the butter and sugar in a large bowl with a wooden spoon, then add the egg yolk and vanilla and briefly beat to combine. Sift over the flour and stir until the mixture is well combined - you might need to get your hands in at the end to give everything a really good mix and press the dough together.
Roll out your dough on a floured board and cut into shapes of your choice. Place on a greased baking tray and bake for 8-10 minutes until biscuits are light golden in colour. Decorate however you fancy!

Oh well done to you both. Mr Vander-Cave has lived up to his reputation. Looks like the locals have taken up the gauntlet this year and got creative!! Still all amazing though. Well done to you both (and the Jnr Vander Cave!!)
