Ili baked Stars......

....yes she did....!!

We couldnt go out to play as it was raining non-stop yesterday....so we decided to bake. Ili chose to bake shining stars - was suppose to look like shining stars but we couldnt get the shiny stuff so Ili has to settle with burnt stars *lol*....It doesnt taste that bad though, and everyone loves it. It's trying for the teeth....*grin*

Here's the recipe for the Cinnamon Stars :

3 Egg whites

400g Icing sugar

500g Ground almonds

2 tsps Cinnamon powder

For the Royal Icing : 180gm Icing sugar and 1 egg white. Choc coloring (own preferred color)

Mix icing sugar, a drop of choc coloring, and egg white till smooth and spreading consistency

Ili's way of doin' it :

Mix all the ingredients to form a smooth dough • Roll it between two plastic sheets to a 6mm thickness • Cut it with star cutter and place into pan lined with baking paper • Pipe the royal icing on top of the star and allow it to spread evenly • Let it sit for 30 minutes • Bake at 170 degrees celcius for 20 minutes.
