You will need to get:

• two bowls

• beater

• cutting board

• rolling pin

• baking trays

You will need to have on hand the following ingredients:

• 185 gm butter

• 1 cup icing sugar sifted

• 1 teaspoon vanilla essence

• 1 teaspoon almond essence

• 1 egg

• 2 1/2 cups sifted flour

• Red food colouring

To Start:

Cream the butter and icing sugar together.  Then add the essences and the egg.  Beat well.   Fold in the flour. Divide mixture in half.    In one half add a couple of drops of red food colouring.   Chill both mixtures for about 15 minutes in the fridge.

Heat up the oven to about 180C. Roll about a tablespoon from each mix on a floured board into strips of about 12 centimetres.   Place strips next to each other and twist into candy cane shape. Repeat until all the mix is used up and you have licked the bowl clean!

Put all the little canes on an ungreased baking tray and bake for about 10 minutes until lightly golden.  Let them cool on trays and eat!

If any candy canes are left over ...store them in airtight container until you next feel like a sweet treat.
