Soon our school will be holding it’s annual school disco again. Flicking through my archive of short stories, I was reminded of this post. That little almost convulsing dancing boy I still see in the playground from time to time. He’s bigger now and probably doesn’t even remember that intense dance-off he once did. I did though, and it still gave me a chuckle just reading about it.
In honour of school disco’s and the joy of uninhibited dancing, I made a few more of those dancing star biscuits.
lemon vanilla stars
200g softened butter
150g sugar
2 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 tsp lemon rind
225g plain flour
squeeze of half a lemon
Cream butter and sugar, add vanilla and lemon. Then mix through the flour. Roll between two sheets of baking paper, and chill a little in the fridge.
Cut out stars and bake at 170C for about 15 minutes.
This dough also freezes easily into a log, just cut off rounds to bake as you need them.
school disco essentials…surely

I love to watch little uninhibited bodies dancing. My son, who had no coordination at all, loved to dance.

That’s where blogs are the bomb. You can look back on past posts and remember. I did just that the other day but am now under the bed eating a block of chocolate and twitching as I just saw what has become of our garden! 😉
