Gingerbread Biscuits

These are biscuits which I regularly make with my children. I have tried many different biscuit recipes but these are our favourite as they make tasty biscuits that the children will actually eat – not just lick the icing off!

Ingredients

  • 175g Self Raising flour
  • ½ tsp bicarbonate soda
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tsp caster sugar
  • 50g butter
  • 3 tbsp golden syrup

 Decoration

  • 50g icing sugar
  • 1 tsp water
  • Sugar decorations

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 190C/375F/Gas 5
  2. Lightly oil 2 baking sheets
  3. Melt butter and syrup together in pan and pour over all dry ingredients
  4. Mix together well and use hands to form into a dough ball – be careful at this stage as the mixture can be hot so allow to cool before children touch.
  5. Roll out on a lightly floured surface to approx 5mm thickness
  6. Cut out shapes and bake in oven for approx 8-12 minutes until lightly browned
  7. Allow to cool fully then decorate

“Using your Benefits link made it easy to select from a wide range of health insurance offerings and narrow down the various plans available that best fit my needs. Being able to make a side by side comparison of the details further helped me make an informed decision on a plan with great rates. The application is swift and uncomplicated”

“ WOW this is a fantastic idea aimed at a true need. I have had a hard time preparing to go back to work after staying home with my two kids for the past 4 years. I am so excited to start adding my requirements and get started on the search. The Latest News and Benefits are an excellent idea. I would come here to read this even if I wasn't looking for a job right now”
