help pudsey bear biscuit

fletty

I've got to make 100 iced pudsey bear biscuits for work for friday i've had a trial run today and my normal bicuit recipe is no good!!

The biscuit cutter has pudseys features on the underside and they were all a little swollen and when the biscuits have cooled they are quite short and crumbly so pudseys head fell off quite a few of them:rotfl:

the recipe i normall use is the standard shortbead one and makes lovely biscuits normally but no good for printed shaped biscuits (3lb plain flour, 2lb marg, 1lb sugar)

Any ideas greatly appreciated :beer:
