Method:

Beat the butter and castor sugar
until light. Beat in the vanilla essence
and the egg. Sift the two kinds of flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt. Stir
into the butter mixture to form a
firm dough, then roll into a ball and
wrap in clingwrap. Chill for 10 to
15 minutes until firm. Roll out the
dough to about 3mm thick on a lightly
floured surface. Use cookie cutters
of different shapes to cut out biscuits
from the dough. Use a small, round
cutter to cut a circle out of the middle
of each biscuit. Line two baking trays
with aluminium foil, shiny side down,
and grease lightly with non-stick spray.
Bake on the tray in a preheated oven
for five minutes.
Remove from the oven and allow to
cool. Divide the sweets into colours.
Place each colour in a small bag
(preferably made of thick plastic), and
crush with a mallet.
Fill the holes in the biscuits with an
even layer of crushed sweets, using
one colour for each biscuit. Return to
the oven for between fi ve and eight
minutes, until the crushed sweets have
melted and start to bubble. Allow
to cool completely before carefully
removing from the aluminium foil
using a palette knife. Store in an
airtight container.
