Gingerbread Biscuits

Recipe by Steve Smith – Executive Head Chef – The Burlington at The Devonshire Arms, Bolton Abbey

Method

Makes 18 -24 biscuits (depending on size)

  1. Pre-heat the oven to 180°c.
  2. Firstly, mix all of the dry ingredients together.
  3. Set up a mixing machine with the dough hook attachment and put the dry ingredients in the mixer.
  4. Mix the honey and melted butter together, then slowly pour into the mixer on a slow speed. Be careful not to over mix - as soon as a dough is formed, the mix is ready.
  5. Remove the dough from the mixer, wrap in cling film and refrigerate for at least one hour.
  6. On a lightly floured work surface, roll the dough to approx ½ cm in thickness.
  7. Choose your favourite shaped cutter, and cut out your biscuits.
  8. Place onto a baking tray and bake in the pre-heated oven for approximately 10 minutes.
  9. CHEFS TIP: Every oven is slightly different so check the biscuits after 7 minutes.
  10. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
  11. Decorate with coloured icing. At The Devonshire Arms we’ve strung them with ribbon and used them to decorate our tree!
