  1. Pre heat oven to 180\u00b0C \/ 160\u00b0C fan forced. Line baking trays with baking paper.<\/li>\n
  2. Melt butter, brown sugar and golden syrup together in a saucepan, stirring until smooth. Cool slightly.<\/li>\n
  3. Whisk egg and butter mixture in a large bowl. Sift flour, spices and bicarbonate of soda over the butter mixture and mix until combined into a smooth dough. Flatten into a disc shape, cover with cling wrap and refrigerate for 30 – 40 minutes or until just firm.<\/li>\n
  4. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to \u00bd cm thickness. Cut into shapes using chosen cookie cutters and use a lifter to transfer onto lightly buttered trays. Bake for 8 – 10 minutes or until cooked and lightly browned. Cool for 5 minutes on trays before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.4.\tRoll out the dough on a floured surface to \u00bd cm thickness.

  5. Once gingerbread has cooled, beat egg white until foamy then gradually beat in icing sugar until piping consistency. Spoon into a piping bag.

    Top Tips<\/h2>\n
      \n
    • Experiment with different shaped cookie cutters. Gingerbread people and stars are great, but maybe you have a llama shaped cookie cutter that would be fun to try.<\/li>\n
    • Mix in a drop of food colouring when making the icing to create fun colours to decorate with.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n <\/div>
