    Method

    1. Step 1

      Preheat the oven to 180°C, (fan 160°C, gas mark 4). Line a couple of baking sheets with baking parchment.

    2. Step 2

      Sieve the flour, ginger and bicarbonate of soda into a large bowl and using your fingertips rub the butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir in the sugar.

      Ingredients for this step

      • 350gAllinson's plain white flour
      • 1 tspGinger (ground)
      • 1 tspBicarbonate of soda
      • 150gBillington's Unrefined Light Muscovado Sugar
    3. Step 3

      Whisk the beaten egg and golden syrup together then add this to the bowl and mix to form a dough.

      Ingredients for this step

      • 1Egg(s) (free range) (beaten)
      • 4 tspSilver Spoon Golden Syrup
    4. Step 4

      Lightly flour the work surface then roll out the dough until it is 3-4mm thick, then use your babygro or other baby themed cutter, cut out the biscuits and carefully transfer onto the baking sheet.

    5. Step 5

      Place in the oven and bake for about 10 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the oven and leave to cool for a few minute, then transfer onto a cooling rack to cool completely.

    6. Step 6

      To decorate, use the food colouring to colour the white icing, kneading the icing until the colour is evenly distributed. Next roll out the icing on a surface that has been lightly dusted with icing sugar, until it is about 5mm thick. Use the same shaped cutter as the biscuit to cut shapes out of the icing.

      • 1 tspPink food colouring gel
      • 500gWhite sugar paste icing
