Spiced Pumpkin Shortbread

Preheat the oven to 160degrees/140fan Grease a large baking sheet

Mix together the flour, sugar and spices Rub in the butter until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs

Add a dollop of food colouring and knead the mixture until it forms a dough, add a little milk if needed. At this stage add more food colouring to reach your desired colour

Take a heaped teaspoon of dough and roll it into a ball, Mark vertical lines in the side of the ball to form a pumpkin shape, go quite deep to prevent the lines fading out while cooling.

Place a clove into the top of each ball and place it onto the tray. Continue until all the dough has been used up

Bake for around 35minutes or until the biscuits are firm and the bases have darkened, if baked too little they will be raw in the middle!

Leave to cool before enjoying!
