Blue Peter - Make these Gladiators foam finger biscuits

Step 1

With the help of a grown-up, preheat your oven to 180 degrees. Then line a baking tray with parchment paper to use later.

Step 2

Draw around your hand on a piece of card and cut out the hand shape - this will be your template for your biscuits.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, whisk the butter and sugar together until soft and creamy. Then whisk in the egg and vanilla.

Step 4

Mix in the flour and combine with the ingredients to form a dough, if the dough is too sticky you can add more flour. 

Step 5

Flour your surface, then using a rolling pin roll out the dough to about the thickness of two £1 coins on top of each other.

Step 6

Next, place your card hand template onto your rolled out dough and, with the help of a grown-up, use a butter knife or playdough knife to cut around your hand template. 

TOP TIP: Save some excess dough to attach your lollipop stick/paper straw later.

Step 7 

To create the foam finger hand pose, gently fold over the fingers and thumb of the dough, leaving the index finger pointed up. 

Step 8

Place the lollipop stick/paper straw onto the bottom of the back of your dough hand and using the excess dough from earlier, attach to your dough hand.

Step 9
Place the biscuits on the baking tray and, with the help of a grown-up, put the biscuits into the oven to bake for 10-12 minutes.

Step 10
Once the biscuits have cooled, decorate them with your designs and enjoy!
