OVERNIGHT OATMEAL IN A JAR
Saw this posted on Facebook and was intrigued so decided to give it a try. I was amazed at how simple and how good it is. This lends itself to so many different combinations. I've listed as it was posted but left out the banana and blueberries as didn't have it, added 1 teaspoon of vanilla and topped with walnuts. For those mornings when you know you'll be in a hurry, here's a breakfast that can be waiting in your fridge. The prep time does not include refrigeration overnight

- Sift the flour alongwith the sugar in a bowl and add in the butter and work with your fingertips until the mixture is crumbly.
- Add the beaten egg and a teaspoon of cold water and mix again until the mixture forms a ball leaving the sides of the bowl clean.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/3 cm thickness.
- Cut out the biscuits using a 10 cm star-shaped cutter.
- If you would like to use it as a decoration, using a skewer, make a hole in each one to thread a wire after baking.
- Transfer the biscuits onto the baking tray and bake them in the middle shelf for 15-20 minutes.
- Remove them from the oven and cool them on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring onto a wire rack to let it cool.
- Meanwhile, make the icing sugar glaze by mixing the icing sugar with the cream till smooth.
- When the biscuits are cold enough to handle, brush the top of the biscuits with the glaze to give it a thin coat and leave it on the rack to dry completely.
- If using as a decoration, once completely cool and dried, thread a thin wire through the holes and hang them on the tree. If not, then store in an airtight container.
