Biscuits
1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a baking tray with non-stick baking paper.

2. Beat the butter and icing mixture in a medium mixing bowl with electric beaters until pale and creamy.

3. Sift the self-raising flour and rice flour into the butter mixture. Mix to a soft dough with a wooden spoon.

4. Roll 3 teaspoons of biscuit mixture into balls and place on the prepared baking tray about 4cm apart. Flatten each
ball with a spatula to make them about 5cm in diameter.

5. Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes or until crisp and cooked through. Stand on the baking tray for about 3
minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool. Repeat with the remaining biscuit dough.

Topping
6. Combine the CSR Chocolate Icing Mixture, butter and hot water in a small mixing bowl and beat with a wooden
spoon until smooth. Set aside. 

7. Using a sharp knife, cut the Easter eggs in half lengthways. Dust the tops of the egg halves with icing mixture.

To Assemble:
1. Spread the top of each biscuit with icing and then decorate with an egg half.
