• Ginger bunny biscuits

    Serves: 20
    Cooking Time: 30 mins

    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.
