Preparation Time: 30 mins plus 30 mins chilling | Cook Time: 8-12 minutes  | Makes: 24 Biscuits

What you need: 

• 200g Lurpak® Unsalted butter, softened
• 150g caster sugar
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 350g plain flour, plus extra for dusting
• 300g icing sugar
• 2-3 tbsp. lemon juice

Instructions:

• Heat the oven to 180.C/ 160.C fan/ gas mark 6

• In a large bowl, beat together the Lurpak® and sugar until light and fluffy. You can also do this in a food processor. 

• Whisk in the egg yolk and vanilla extract, and finally the flour to make a dough. If the dough is too sticky add a little more flour. 

• Remove the dough and roll out on a floured work surface to about .cm in 

• Using assorted cookie cutters, cut out the dough and place onto a lined baking tray. Re-roll the off-cuts and repeat until all the dough is used up. Place the biscuits in the fridge for 30 minutes or until firm.

• Bake on the middle shelf for 8-12 minutes or until just coloured on the edges.

• Remove the biscuits from the oven and cool on a wire rack before decorating with icing.

• To make the icing sift the icing sugar into a bowl and stir in 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, adding more if needed to make a thick paste.

• Decorate the biscuits and leave on a wire rack for the icing to set. If you want to use them as Christmas decorations, skewer a hole in the top of each biscuit just before baking and thread through ribbon or string.

Today, we are sharing a chicken roast recipe with Garlic and Herbs for you to give an amazing treat to your family and loved ones. 

This recipe will give the juiciest chicken with the most flavorful and crispiest skin.

Let’s get started.

What you need:

• Whole cleaned chicken

• Rosemary
• Parsley
• Lemon juice
• Olive Oil
• White wine (optional)

Instructions:

• While you prep the chicken, put your oven to preheat.
• Mix the butter, lemon juice, olive oil and wine (in case you are using). Use this marination to coat the chicken all over.
• Season with salt, pepper and parsley.
• Take a generous amount of minced garlic and rub it over and under the chicken skin.
• To maximise the garlicky taste, place the garlic head and rosemary inside the cavity of the chicken along with a lemon slice.
• Place to broil in your preheated oven.

The usual cook time is a minimum of one hour but the larger the chicken, it will require more time. Add another 20 minutes in case you feel it needs more cooking.
