Farmyard Easter Biscuits

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (fan), and line two baking trays with baking paper.

2. Pulse the flour, egg yolk, butter, lemon juice and sugar in a blender until crumbly. Gradually add milk, one tablespoon at a time, pulsing until the mixture forms a dough (you may not need all the milk). If you don't have a blender, simply beat softened butter and sugar together, stir in the remaining ingredients, then add milk gradually until you have a dough.

3. Place the dough in the fridge for around 30 minutes to chill.

4. After 30 minutes, roll out the dough until roughly 3mm in thickness. Use biscuit cutters to cut the dough into shapes, placing your biscuits on the baking trays. If you are wanting to hang the biscuits on an Easter tree, make some holes to thread your ribbon through later.

5. Bake in the preheated oven for around 10 minutes until golden. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

6. While your biscuits are cooling, make your icing by mixing together the icing sugar and lemon juice.

7. Once cool, you can decorate your biscuits. Before the icing sets sprinkle over the desiccated coconut to give some extra detail to your biscuits.

8. These biscuits make lovely decorations, you can thread ribbon through the holes and then hang them on an Easter tree, if you can resist eating them!
