VEGETABLE CUTTER RECIPES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. Spray 11x7-inch (2-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray.
• In 12-inch skillet, heat 1 tablespoon butter and the oil over medium-high heat. Add carrot, sweet potato, parsnip and onion; cook 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and crisp-tender.
• In large bowl, stir together soup, milk, thyme, salt and pepper. Stir in turkey and cooked vegetables. Pour into baking dish.
• Unroll dough on cutting board; cut into strips with fluted pastry wheel or pizza cutter. Arrange strips in lattice design over turkey mixture. Brush dough with melted butter.
• Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until filling is bubbly and crust is golden brown.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and line a baking sheet with baking parchment. Put the butter in a bowl and beat it with electric beaters until soft and creamy. Beat in the sugar, then the egg and vanilla, and finally the flour to make a dough. If the dough feels a bit sticky, add a little bit more flour and knead it in.
• Pull pieces off the dough and roll them out to about the thickness of two £1 coins on a floured surface. The easiest way to do this with small children is to roll the mixture out on a baking mat. Cut out shapes using a 9cm biscuit cutter, or a use the rim of a small glass and peel away the leftover dough around the edges. Press some clean toys gently into the biscuits, making sure you make enough of a mark without going all the way through. Re-roll off-cuts and repeat.
• Transfer the whole mat or the individual biscuits to the baking sheet and bake for 8-10 mins or until the edges are just brown. Leave to cool for 5 mins, then serve. Will keep for three days in a biscuit tin.
