Ingredients
1 Food Lover’s Ginger Biscuit Kit
1 egg
100g butter or margarine, softened
Extra flour for dusting
Food colouring (optional)
Directions
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line a flat baking sheet with baking paper and spray with non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the egg and butter or margarine and beat with an electric beater or a wooden spoon until light and creamy.
Add all the spiced flour mixture (the bigger bag of flour in the kit) and mix until you have a dough. Shape the dough in a disc. Sprinkle some flour on the work surface and roll the dough out with a rolling pin to about 6mm thick.
Using the cookie cutter found in the box, press out the gingerbread men. Bring the remaining dough together, roll out and repeat until all dough has been used.
Place the gingerbread men on the prepared baking tray and bake for about 15 minutes. Remove from the hot tray and place the biscuits on a cooling rack to cool down for about 30 minutes or until completely cooled down before icing.
Meanwhile, for the royal icing, follow the instructions on the box, and if you want to have a little fun with different festive colours, combine a few drops of food colouring with the icing before placing the icing in the piping bag, also found in the box.
