Ginger bunny biscuits
Ingredients
- 125g butter
- 125ml (½ cup) muscovado sugar
- 7,5ml (1½ tsp) ground ginger
- 15ml (1 tbsp) glacé ginger, finely chopped
- 300g (2½ cups) cake flour
- 125ml (½ cup) golden syrup
- ICING
- 1 large egg white
- 70g (½ cup) icing sugar
- blue food colouring
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 180°C and line a baking tray with baking paper.
2
Cream the butter and sugar together until fluffy. Add the ground and chopped ginger, flour and syrup, and mix to form a smooth dough.
3
Roll the dough out on a lightly floured work surface to about 4mm thick. Cut out bunny shapes using a cookie cutter. Place the biscuits on the tray and bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and leave to cool.
4
For the icing, whisk the egg white and icing sugar together until quite thick and add a drop of food colouring. Using a piping bag, pipe an outline and an eye on each biscuit.
Notes
If you want to thread a ribbon or cord through the biscuits, make a hole in the biscuits before baking.
