10 Ingredients
* 125g butter
* 1/2 cup (110g) brown sugar
* 1/2 cup (175g) golden syrup
* 1 Coles Brand Australian Free Range Egg yolk
* 2 1/2 cups (375g) plain flour
* 1 tbsp ground ginger
* 1 tsp ground cinnamon
* 1/2 tsp ground cloves
* 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
* 1/2 quantity royal icing
3 Method / Steps
Step 1
Preheat oven to 180C. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper.
Step 2
Use an electric mixer to beat the butter, sugar and golden syrup in a bowl until pale and creamy. Add the egg yolk and beat to combine. Add the flour, ginger, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg and stir to combine. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth.
Step 3
Divide the dough into 2 portions. Roll 1 portion out on a lightly floured surface to a 5mm-thick disc. Use 7cm, 4cm and 2cm star cutters to cut stars from the gingerbread and place on the lined trays. Bake, swapping trays halfway through cooking, for 10-12 mins or until lightly golden. Set aside on trays to cool. Repeat with the remaining dough. Place royal icing in a piping bag fitted with a 1mm plain nozzle. Pipe onto biscuits. Set aside to set.
