Ingredients

Serves: 25

170g Carnation Condensed Milk
150g butter
150g brown sugar
1 egg
175g plain flour
115g self raising flour

You will also need...
Ghost shaped cookie cutter
 200g readymade white fondant icing
 Black writing icing
and silver balls to decorate

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C for fan ovens), Gas Mark 4. Line 2-3 baking sheets with parchment.

Beat the butter, sugar and condensed milk together until creamy. Add the egg (don’t worry if it looks like its curdling), beat well and then gently fold in the flours. Mix to a firm but sticky dough. Cover in cling film and chill for 30 minutes.

Roll the dough out on a well- floured surface to the thickness of a pound coin. Cut shapes out then transfer to the trays and bake for 10 minutes until light golden. Cool completely on a wire rack.

Roll out the white icing to the thickness of a 50p coin. Use the same cutter to cut out white ghost shapes from the icing.

Brush a little water onto one side of the icing ghosts and lay on top of the cooled biscuits. Press on gently then add some spooky faces with the black icing and silver balls.
