Frosting Biscuits
Frosting biscuits when Christmas is just around the corner is one of those memorable mocookiests kids and adults keeps in their hearts. We frost biscuits because we want to feel the Christmas magic through their shiny and glossy look.
What biscuits to frost? We vote for 1) Traditional Gingerbread biscuits and 2) Christmas cookies. But you can frost any biscuit with confidence.
Let’s start with the first question. What is a good frosting? Frosting that:
- sets hard and does not soften the cookie.
- has a glossy look.
- has consistency to spread smoothly to cover the surface and to shape dots and details.
- can be colorized.
You will need:
- Glucose syrup – it gives your frosting a glossy look.
- Egg whites – to make the frosting set hard!
- Powdered sugar
- Colouring – gel or liquid.
How to make frosting for biscuits
- Beat the powder sugar, egg whites and water until smooth;
- Divide between bowls, then mix in coloring liquid. Use as much as you want until you achieve the color you want.
- Frosting thickness – use the “figure 8” test. Draw number “8” across the surface, it should hold for 2 seconds before it disappears.
- Transfer into zip-lock bags. Make 1-2 mm wide – well. When the hole is that small, you have enough control to pipe, just snipping the end of a or zip-lock bag.
