Button biscuts

I recently treated myself to a copy of Queen of Crafts, a great book full of recipes and ideas by Jazz Domino Holly. It’s a lovely book to flick through for some inspiration although there aren’t many new ideas in it. However, a recipe for button biscuits caught my eye. I love buttons, have a huge stash to decorate my sewing projects, and thought biscuit buttons would be fun to make.

I used my own biscuit recipe, divided the mixture into two and added blue and yellow food colouring to both halves which I picked up at Iced Inspirations, my favourite baking shop. I rolled out the dough and cut small circles, decorating with button holes. Simples!

Look good- taste lovely!

    They are lovely! My son is very into watching Button Moon at the moment, and I quite often make him a Button Moon sandwich for lunch where I cut the sandwich into a circle and make button holes in it. I think that he’d love to make some biscuits like this!
