Preparation method

1. Preheat oven to 180°C.
2. Pulse castor sugar, butter, egg, flour and vanilla in a food processor until it begins to get sticky.
3. Add milk, a dash at a time, so that the mixture combines to form a ball of dough.
4. Divide dough into 14 small walnut-sized balls, and roll balls into logs that resem-ble fingers.
5. Place fingers on a baking sheet lined with baking paper.
6. Using a small, sharp knife, cut incisions that resemble knuckles into the dough.
7. Arrange an almond to resemble a nail at the tip of each finger.
8. Bake for 10-20 minutes, and then cool.
9. Paint the end of each finger with red food colouring to resemble blood.
