Pink Marshmallow Icing
- 175 grams pink marshmallows
- 2 tablespoons water

Biscuits
Cream butter and sugar.
Add egg and continue to beat for one minute.
Add hot water and beat until blended.
Sift flour into mixture and stir with a knife until blended.
Form mixture into a large ball with your hands. Handle the mixture until it forms a dough but don't knead.
Place mixture onto a floured surface and roll out until very thin (about 2-3 mm thick).
Cut into 6cm x 4cm rectangles and place on a tray lined with baking paper.
Bake in a moderate oven (160 degrees celsius in a fan forced oven) for 10-12 minutes.
Allow to cool.
Pink Marshmallow Icing
Place marshmallows and water in a saucepan and heat over low heat while stirring.
Once the mixture has melted completely, take off heat and stir in icing sugar.
Decorating
Put icing mixture into a piping bag and pipe a stripe down each side of the biscuit. Sprinkle coconut on the icing and flatten slightly with a knife.
Once the mixture has set a little, use a knife to tidy up the pink icing stripes.
Shake off the coconut.
Using a piping bag again, pipe raspberry jam down the centre of each biscuit then sprinkle with a little coconut.
