Gingerbread Biscuits
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 180C. Line 2 oven trays with baking paper.
Step 2
Beat butter, sugar and golden syrup in a bowl with electric mixer until pale and creamy.
Step 3
Add egg yolk and beat until just combined. Sift flour, Bi-Carb, ginger, cinnamon and cloves into mixture. Use a wooden spoon to combine.
Step 4
Turn onto a lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth. Roll out dough to approximately 5mm thick. Use gingerbread cutters to cut out shapes. Place on prepared trays. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden.
Step 5
Remove from oven and cool.
Step 6
TO MAKE ROYAL ICING: Sift icing sugar into a small bowl. Add lemon juice and egg white to form a firm paste. Place in a piping bag fitted with a 1mm nozzle. Pipe icing onto biscuits. Set aside for 1 hour to set.
Tips
- Don’t have a piping bag? Use a snap lock bag instead and just cut one of the corners. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
