Sugar Mice
Traditional sugar mice made with just icing sugar and egg white, plus a tail of course!
Ingredients
- 1 egg white
- 400 g icing sugar this is approximate
- 2 liquorice strips red liquorice lace/strawberry laces for tails
- 1 tsp cocoa powder cochineal/pink/red food colouring for pink mice and cocoa powder for fawn mice
Instructions
- Separate the egg and whisk up the egg white until it is all nice and frothy.
- Sieve the sugar into the same bowl.
- Using a metal spoon start stirring, and stirring and stirring to make a dough
- If you want some coloured mice split the dough into three parts.In one add some red food colouring to make pink mice.In another add cocoa powder for fawn mice
- Divide up the dough into however many mice you want (size is up to you) and make a sort of short fat sausage shape out of each section. Roll at the front to get a pointy nose and pinch either side to get the ear shape.
- Using the strawberry liquorice lace push a tail into each mouse. You can cut tiny pieces to press in eas eyes or use tiny drops of food colouring gel.
- Put your mousy masterpieces on to baking paper/grease proof paper and on to a tray in the fridge overnight to set completely.
