These notes distinguish the recorded result from quantities or settings the contributor did not specify. Follow each source link to the original passage.
- Ingredients: 400g plain flour, 180g softened butter, 2 eggs, 100g caster sugar, lots of icing sugar and pink and yellow food colouring. The butter and sugar were creamed, the beaten egg mixed in and the flour folded in to make a dough. The dough was rolled into a long shape, its ends joined into a circle, flattened and carefully marked with diagonal lines, then baked for 30 minutes, with no temperature given, and left to cool for 30 minutes. Two amounts of icing sugar were mixed with the colourings; the pink covered the cooled biscuit and the yellow was dripped across it in lines, and the icing was left to set. The icing sugar is not measured. Source 1 · Source 2 · Source 3 · Source 4 · Source 5 · Source 6 · Source 7 · Source 8
