Ingredient
Food ration :
24 servingsCooking time :
1 hour 30 mins
170 grams
granulated sugar
3 tbsp
light coconut milk
2 tsp
lemon zest
1 tsp
vanilla extract
240 grams
gluten-free / plain flour
1/2 tsp
baking powder
1 tbsp
poppy seeds
600 grams
icing / powdered sugar
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Cream together the sugar and Stork / butter, then mix in the milk, lemon zest and vanilla
* Step 2
Mix in the flour, baking powder and xanthan gum if using until you form a dough. Gluten-free flour may need an extra tablespoon of milk added in
* Step 3
Sprinkle in the poppy seeds and knead through
* Step 4
Wrap in clingfilm and refrigerate for an hour
* Step 5
Preheat the oven to gas 5 / 190C / 375°F
* Step 6
Roll or pat out the dough to around 5mm thick and cut rounds out with a 3 inch cookie cutter. I get between 24 - 30 depending on the flour I use
* Step 7
Bake for 15 - 18 minutes until golden
* Step 8
Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely
* Step 9
Mix the icing sugar with just enough water to make a thick but spreadable glaze and pour some into a piping bag
* Step 10
Pipe a white background circle onto each cookie and let set
* Step 11
Remove 6 tablespoons of leftover white icing and colour 3 black and 3 green
* Step 12
Colour the rest red
* Step 13
The poppy emblem used by the British Legion is the shape of a number 8 with a wider bottom or a snowman if you can picture that better. Put the red icing in a piping bag and pipe that outline onto each cookie then go back and fill the shapes in
* Step 14
When the red has set use the black to pipe a dot in the middle of each poppy
* Step 15
Then use the green to make the stems or a leaf if you like
* Step 16
Let set for a good hour before serving
* Step 17
In memory of those who fought for their countries and laid down their lifes in the hope that the future could be lived in peace. Lest We Forget.
