Ingredients

125 gram butter, at room temperature

2/3 cup icing sugar

1 egg

2 cup plain flour

1 egg white, lightly beaten

green sugar sprinkles

30 red boiled lollies

ribbon, to decorate

Method

1.Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced). Line 2 baking trays with baking paper, ensuring paper sits flat on trays. Using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar in a small bowl until tight and creamy. Beat in egg.

2.Stir in flour with a round-pladed knife until evenly combined. Gather dough into a ball. Turn out onto a sheet of baking paper. Roll out to 5mm thick.

3.Using a 6cm round pastry cutter, cut dough into rounds. Using a 3cm round pastry cutter, cut a small circle into each larger round. Re-roll any leftover dough; cut out more rounds.

4.Place rounds on prepared trays. Brush with egg white; sprinkle with sugar sprinkles. Place a boiled lolly at centre of each hole. Using the blunt end of a wooden skewer, make a hole at the top of each round (to thread with ribbon eater). Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lollies melt slightly. Cool on trays and lift off carefully. Thread ribbon through holes.

Make sure trays are flat, or melted lollies will leak during cooking.
