any ideas for easter cooking activities?

we always seem to do the chocolate nests with eggs and feel like a change! Just wondering what you all have planned.

We're making peppermint creams (yuk!) cos I found some cute but small easter cutters in a cheapy shop! We're also going to make simple flower arrangements - been saving lids from jars for ages which we cram onto a block of oasis so they are nice and full, then chop off the excess. One block does about 10 lids. Plenty of greenery from our gardens and a few bunches of daffs, a bit of ribbon and hey presto. The children love doing them. They use a pencil to make the holes for the daffs cos their stems are a bit too delicate but the rest they can cram straight into the oasis. Goes down well with the mums!

You may already know this, but you can make an egg -shaped biscuit cutter very easily by pressing the cap of a [clean] can into an oval shape

Easter Biscuits

 

Makes about 30

 

 

Traditionally made Easter currant cookies. Why not try replacing the currants and spices with 3oz of chocolate chips?

 

Ingredients:

 

12oz (350g) plain flour

 

pinch salt

 

1 tsp. mixed spice

 

6oz (150g) butter

 

4oz (100g) caster sugar

 

3oz (75g) currants

 

1 lemon, finely grated rind

 

1 egg beaten

 

1 tbsp. milk

 

Method

Sift flour, salt and spice into a bowl

 

Rub in butter, add sugar, currants and lemon rind

 

Beat egg and milk, add to make a pliable dough

 

Roll out just under a quarter inch (5mm) thick

 

Cut out biscuits using a 3inch(75cm) fluted cutter and transfer to lightly greased baking sheets

 

Use scraps to make more biscuits

 

Bake at 375F, Gas Mark 5, 190C for 10-12 minutes

 

Cool on a wire rack
