- Preheat oven to 180C. Remove dough from the fridge, and roll out to 1cm thickness. Cut your biscuits in whatever shape you prefer. (I made mine this shape as a celebration of the traditional St Helenian cake that inspired the flavours.)
- Place cut biscuits on a parchment-lined baking tray and bake for 15-20 minutes. Remove and allow biscuits to cool completely before decorating.
- Whilst the biscuits are cooling, mix your icing by slowly adding very small amounts of water to your icing sugar. It takes the smallest amount of water to make the icing, so take your time until you have a thick honey consistency. Add a tiny drop of food colouring and mix.
If you put too much water in & your icing is too runny then add more icing sugar to get it back to the right consistency. (Extra icing can always be put in the fridge and used for another bake the next day) - Once biscuits are completely cool. dip the top of each biscuit in your icing and set aside. Once all are covered sprinkle more coconut on top to decorate. Enjoy with a nice cup of tea.
