180CMakes 3 trays
Cream : 4oz butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
Sift and add: 2 1/2 cups plain flour
1 tsp carb soda
3 tsp ground ginger
Add: 1 egg yolk
2 1/2 Tbl golden syrup
a little water to dough consistency
Roll out thinly. Cut shapes with floured shape cutters - I use men, butterflies, bells, all sorts I have collected over the years. Place on trays and bake 10 - 15 mins.
Icing for decorating: 1 1/2 cups icing sugar
1 egg white, lightly beaten
3 drops acetic acid (optional)
Divide icing between several little containers and colour each differently with food colouring. Cover until ready to start.
Use piping bags made from greaseproof paper. Put a different colour in each one.Roll down the top so the icing is in the pointy end. Snip off a tiny bit of the point to allow the icing to be squeezed out. Go for it - anything goes.
ps Don't leave your dog unattended in the same room with these on a coffee table !!
