have been wanting to do this for aaaaaages! Probably cost me under £10

1) basic biscuit recipe…but with 3 x the ingredients

i used
2cups of self-raising flour
2cups of plain flour
200g of butter
1cup of sugar
2 eggs
little bit of milk
some vanilla essence

Sugar, self-raising and plain flour, milk, an egg, spread and vanilla essence on the kitchen counter

2) mix the butter and sugar, then add eggs

3) add flour to make a dough

4) halve the dough and put it on a floured surface and roll one half out to makke one half of the ring, then do the same with the other half

5) put the two halves together (cos i didnt have enough space to do it with just one long bit)

Dough rolled out flat and cut into a wide crescent, half of the ring

6) i wanted to cook it all as one big ring but my oven wasnt big enough, so then i had the joy of cutting it into 3rds and baking them seperately (for about 30min at 180 degrees) and trying to make one big ring out of the 3 bits

7) it didnt help that i dropped one of the bits so it wouldnt fit properly

8)anyway….make a heck of a lot of icing and make it quite thick because if not it just runs of the side which is no fun (make sure its cooled first)

9) get a second coloured icing and make stripes 😀

Yellow icing poured over the biscuit ring with red lines piped across it

then feather the stripes by dragging a knife down them in the oppisite direction

then eat with a cuppa *nom**nom
