Ginger bread biscuits
Description
Make in any shape you want - great for rainy days or seasonal holidays.
These are my favourite to make at Halloween.
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Sift the flour, bicarbonate of soda and ginger into a bowl.
-
Rub in the butter until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
-
Sieve in the sugar to remove any lumps then stir in.
-
Dip your tablespoon in the oil to stop the golden syrup sticking then add the golden syrup to the egg and beat to combine.
-
Gradually stir the syrup mixture into the dry ingredients.
-
Mix into a smooth dough.
-
Turn out the dough onto a floured surface and roll out.
-
Cut out your biscuits and place on buttered baking trays. (I absolutely love my day or the dead sugar skull cookie cutters but any cutters work).
-
Cook in the preheated 180c for about 10 minutes or until golden brown.
-
Cool on wire racks before decorating with water icing and smarties.
Note
If you don't have fancy cutters an upside down plastic cup works too!
