Ingredients:

Method:

  1. Preheat the oven to 190C/375F/Gas 5.

  2. Beat the butter and the sugar together until smooth.

  3. Stir in the flour to get a smooth paste. Turn on to a work surface and gently roll out until the paste is 1cm/½in thick.

  4. Cut into rounds or fingers and place onto a baking tray. Sprinkle with caster sugar and chill in the fridge for 20 minutes.

  5. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until pale golden-brown. Set aside to cool on a wire rack.

21st Karen’s Conversation Activity

Morning boys and girls, Karen here,

Below are some ideas and suggestions to help parents start a conversation with their wee ones!  Learning that will take place is the development of child’s language skills, getting to know and understand your child’s likes and dislikes better, taking turns in conversation & enhancing your relationship with your child further.  The conversation starters could use at any time e.g breakfast, lunch or dinner times, when having a bath and when out having a walk.
