90g unsalted butter, softened
¼ cup brown sugar
1 egg
¼ cup golden syrup
1¾ cups gluten-free plain flour
½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
1 tsp Select Ground Ginger
1 tsp Select Ground Cinnamon
¼ tsp Select Ground Cloves
¼ tsp Select Ground Nutmeg
300g Orchard White Icing
¼ cup pure icing sugar
1 tube Queens Dark-chocolate Writing Icing

Method

1.

Preheat oven to 180°C. Beat butter and sugar in a bowl until pale and creamy. Stir in egg and syrup. Sift flour, bicarbonate of soda and spices together. Gradually beat into butter mixture to combine.
2.

Divide dough in half. Roll out 1 portion between 2 sheets of baking paper until 5 mm thick. Remove top sheet of paper and transfer bottom sheet, with dough, to a tray. Using a small knife, mark 3cm-square pieces onto dough, without cutting. Bake for 8-10 minutes until firm. Remove from oven and cut into pieces. Cool. Repeat with remaining dough.
3.

Roll out icing until 3 mm thick. Cut into squares, slightly smaller than gingerbread pieces. Mix icing sugar and 1 tbs of water in a jug. Brush icing squares with icing sugar mixture and attach to gingerbread. Use writing icing to add letters and set aside to dry for at least 2 hours.
