Baking powder

Instructions
1
Mix the first seven ingredients together and beat with an electric whisk or hand whisk until fluffy.
2
Stir in the flour until well mixed and then chill the mixture for up to 2 hours, until firm. (Sometimes this isn't necessary, it just depends on the temperature of the margarine and whether the dough is too soft and sticky to roll out).
3
Preheat the oven to 200°C, fan 180°C, gas mark 6 and line two baking trays with nonstick baking paper.
4
Roll or pat out the dough on to a floured surface and then cut into shapes and transfer to the baking tray with a palette knife.
5
Bake for 6-10 mins, until golden around the edges and then cool on a rack before decorating.
