Ingredients
125g butter
100g caster sugar
25g golden syrup
325g plain flour
1 level tsp bicarbonate of soda
2 level tsp ground ginger
½ level tsp ground cinnamon
2 medium eggs, beaten
Asda White Piping Icing
Asda Posh Pearls
Method
1
Pre-heat the oven to 160C/140C Fan/Gas 3. Line two baking trays with baking paper. Put the butter, caster sugar and syrup in a pan and stir over a low heat until the sugar has dissolved and the butter melted (don't allow the mixture to boil). Remove from the heat.
2
Sift the flour, bicarbonate of soda, ginger and cinnamon into a mixing bowl. Add the butter mixture and eggs, then mix to make a stiff dough. Wrap in cling film and chill for 20 minutes.
3
Roll out on a floured surface to 4mm thick. Cut out tree shapes and rectangles (for the bases). Place on the trays and bake for 10 minutes.
4
Remove from the oven and leave for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool.
5
Decorate with white piping icing and posh pearls. If you want your trees to stand, position them upright on the rectangles and secure with piping icing.
