These delicious gingerbread biscuits are really simple to make and can be personalised for each member of the family or given as gifts. Don't forget to make a hole in the top of your gingerbread decoration to fit the pretty ribbon through so that you can hang them up. Method Preheat the oven to 170°C (150°C fan, gas mark 4). Grease and flour a baking sheet. Melt together the butter, sugar and syrup. Sift together the flour, bicarbonate of soda and ground ginger. Mix the melted butter mixture into the flour until the dough comes together. 125g Unsalted Butter (Softened) 150g Unrefined Dark Muscovado Sugar (we like Billington's) 4 tbsp Golden Syrup 300g Plain White Flour 1 tsp Bicarbonate of Soda 2 tsp Ground Ginger On a floured surface roll out the dough to 5mm thick. Using a floured cutter, cut out your preferred shapes and transfer to the prepared baking sheet on a palette knife or similar. Top Tip: How to Roll your Biscuit Dough Evenly How to Roll your Biscuit Dough Evenly Place two clean rulers (of equal thickness) either side of your dough, use them as a guide to roll your rolling pin over them and the dough until the dough is even and flush with the top of the rulers. Bake for 12 minutes until cooked through. Have ready a skewer or cocktail stick. As soon as the biscuits are out of the oven and they are still soft, use the skewer to make a hole for the ribbon to go through. Cool on a rack. Make up the royal icing, following the instructions on pack and adding water. Add a few drops of food colouring to your icing until you reach the desired colour. 250g Royal Icing Sugar (we like Silver Spoon) 2 tsp Food Colouring (Assortment of Colours) Spoon into piping bag and get creative decorating.
