Method
- Beat the butter, vanilla and icing sugar until light and pale. Add the flour and cornflour and fold until combined and mixture forms a ball.
- Remove a golf ball sized piece of dough and roll into a log approx. 8cm long. Use your fingers to push some dents to create a ‘knobbly’ look to the biscuit. Use a toothpick to scratch lines around the knuckles and press an almond to simulate a finger nail.
- Brush on some coco powder onto the dough, place on a baking trey and bake for 20-25mins at 150C until slightly golden on the outside. Leave on the trey for 5mins before placing onto a wire rack to cool fully.
- Once cooled, remove the almond and place a small dollop of jam into the indentation it has left before putting the almond on top. Dip the end of the finger into the jam to create a blood look and serve.
