You will need
  • 100g (3 1/2oz) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 60g (2 1/4oz) icing sugar, sifted
  • 2 egg yolks, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste
  • 125g (4 1/2oz) plain all-purpose flour
  • 1/8 teaspoon each of red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple gel food colouring
  • 60g (2 1/4ox) white chocolate, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon rainbow sprinkles

Before you start

Make sure you have clean hands, a clean work surface and a grown-up to hand to help you with the oven.

How to make rainbow cloud Viennese biscuits

  1. To start, preheat the oven to 180掳C (350掳F)听Make sure you grab a grown-up whenever you are using an oven!听Then grease a baking tray with a little bit of butter and line it with some baking paper.

  2. Place the butter in a large bowl and add sugar a tablespoon at a time. Mix together until pale and creamy and the sugar is fully incorporated.

  3. Once light and creamy, mix in the egg yolks and vanilla.

  4. Sift in the flour and gently mix until all the flour is combined.

  5. Divided the dough into six bowls for all the colours of the rainbow and add a different food colouring to each bowl. Mix the colour with the dough until you have a smooth bright dough.

  6. When you're happy with the colours of the doughs, open a piping bag and spoon lines of the different coloured doughs vertically on the inside of the bag in rainbow colour order. If you don't have a piping bag you can use a freezer bag with a hole in the bottom.

  7. When all of the colours are added, attach a star nozzle to the bag and pipe four large rainbows, with a cloud at each end, onto a baking tray for your biscuit! Don't worry if you don't have a nozzle, just carefully pipe out the dough using your freezer bag.

  8. Put the biscuits in the freezer for 15 minutes.

  9. Remove from the freezer, grab your grown up and bake for 12 minutes. When cooked transfer to a wire rack to cool down.

  10. Get started on your white chocolate clouds whilst they cool.

  4. Store up to five days and enjoy!听
