Sean used his Great Granny Dagger's Shortbread recipe as a base for creating the Shrewsbreads and Fairy Wands. Decorating them is the fun part - make sure you have plenty of sweeties and hundreds and thousands on hand.

Method

Shortbread method: : Preheat oven to 180°C and grease a baking tray. Beat butter and Chelsea Caster Sugar together. Sift the dry ingredients then gently combine with the butter mixture. Use dough as detailed below.
Shrewsbread Faces: : Roll out the shortbread (recipe above) into a flat square/rectangle and press out circle shape using a biscuit cutter or small cup, place on prepared baking try. Use a piece of dowel or the end of your finger to create indentations for the eyes and mouth of the smiley faces. Spoon jam flavour of your choice (Sean used raspberry) into the eye and mouth shapes, bake as above.
Fairy Wands: : Roll out the shortbread (recipe above) into a flat square/rectangle and press out shapes using star shaped biscuit cutters. Place star shapes onto a greased baking tray. Wet wooden kebab sticks and carefully insert into each star so that the shortbread bakes onto the wand. Once cooled, ice with Chelsea Berry Flavoured Icing and sprinkle with topping(s) of your choice. Hundreds and thousands, chocolate hail and cachous (edible silver balls) are great choices!
