How to make homemade coffee scroll biscuits

Before making a start on the biscuit dough, first preheat the oven to 160c fan forced and line 2 x baking trays with baking paper.

Using either a stand mixer or a large mixing bowl and electric hand beaters, beat together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, allspice and nutmeg. Beat once again until well combined, scraping the sides of the bowl if needed.

Add the egg and beat once again until well combined with the other ingredients. Finally, add the plain flour, baking powder and currant, and mix until a dough forms.

On a clean floured surface, roll out the dough using a rolling pin until the dough is approximately 1/2 cm thick. Use a round cookie cutter to cut out the biscuits. You should get around 24 biscuits, depending on the size of your cookie cutter. Place the biscuits on the lined baking tray.

Using 1 or 2 smaller cookie cutters, gently great round indents on the biscuits, which will make the biscuits look like a scroll. Flour the rim of the cookie cutters if they start to stick to the dough. If you don’t have cookie cutters, try using the rim of a glass or jar.

Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until just starting to turn golden. Allow to cool completely before icing.

To make the icing, simply combine the icing sugar, pink food colouring and enough water to make a thick icing. Place a small amount of the icing in the centre of each biscuit.
