GINGERBREAD BISCUITS

An excellent Gingerbread recipe:

4 oz butter
4 oz sugar
9 oz flour
1 teaspoons bicarbonate of soda
3 teaspoons ginger powder
warmed golden syrup or honey

Method

1. Cream fat and sugar until very soft.
2. Work in dry ingredients.
3. Mix with a little warmed syrup, and add warmed syrup gradually until the mixture forms a fairly stiff dough.
4. Knead a little until dough sticks together.
5. Roll out on a floured board.
6. Cut out the shapes, put on a greased tray or baking parchment. (Optional: currants can be added for eyes/coat buttons.)
7. Bake in a moderate oven (350 deg F, Mark 4) for 10 or 15 minutes.
8. Allow to cool slightly before lifting on to a wire tray.
9. Optional: when cold, decorate with white, glace icing.
