Iced Gems Recipe

September 4, 2016 by Amy Le Pelley 198 Comments

Well, it is all starting to get exciting isn’t it! This week on The Great British Bake Off it was biscuit week and the contestants were asked to make 24 identical iced biscuits.  There was variation on technique and an interesting selection of flavour choices.  The judges favourite were Tom’s chai frappacino biscuits in the shape of coffee cups.

I decided to have a go at making iced gems as my contribution this week.  I used to love these little biscuits when I was a child, they were sweet and colourful and small enough to be the perfect accompaniment to a dollies tea party.

I love tiny food, I am not sure why but it just tastes better than normal sized food…. petit four, little cubes of cheese on sticks, amuse bouche….it is fact.

For the biscuit base I used a simple shortbread recipe which I used to make with my mother as a child.  I am a bit of a traditionalist and I like to use ground rice in my shortbread as it has a much crumblier, gritty texture.  It is such an easy recipe and as usual I had a little helper.

Shortbread Recipe

  • 300g Butter
  • 145g Caster Sugar
  • 300g Plain Flour
  • 130g ground rice or rice flour

Whisk together the sugar and butter until the mixture because lighter in colour approximately 8-10 minutes.

Fold in the flour and the ground rice until you have formed a dough.

IMG_7639

You want to make sure your work surface is well floured whilst working with this dough as it can get sticky as it is rolled out. Roll it out to about 5mm thick.

IMG_7528

I didn’t have a cutter small enough so I used a connector piece for a piping bag kit. Basically, use whatever you have to hand which is approximately 2-3cm in diameter.

IMG_7537

Place the biscuits on a non stick baking tray, the dough has such a high butter content that greasing the tray isn’t necessary unless you aren’t using a non stick tray.

Bake in the oven on 180 Degrees for about 10-12 mins.

IMG_7636

They should be just lightly golden and can over bake quickly especially when cooking shortbread this small.

The colourful star is made with royal icing.  I added glycerine to stop it setting solid, otherwise it would be a bit hard on the kids teeth.

Royal Icing

2 egg whites

2 tsp lemon juice

1 tsp glycerine

400g icing sugar

 

Whisk the egg whites until they are light and frothy, mix in the rest of the ingredients until you get a think white, shiny icing which peaks.  At this stage you can add any colouring you wish.

Pipe the stars out onto greaseproof paper and leave them to dry, it can take about 24hours for them to dry which is why I did not pipe directly onto the biscuits as they would be soft if left out that long.  I didn’t want to risk the possibility of a Paul Hollywood glare if my biscuit didn’t have a good snap.

Once they are dry I stuck them to the biscuits, which I stored in a biscuit tin to keep fresh over night, with a small drop of simple icing made from icing sugar and a drop of water.

IMG_7584

They look so cute in my gorgeous Emma Ball puffin biscuit tin.

IMG_7628IMG_7580

A perfect treat at snack time for the children or an added treat with a cup of tea for me!
