Ingredients
Gingerbread rings
- 125 gram butter, chopped, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 1/2 cup plain flour
- 1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
- 1 tablespoon ground ginger

Method
Gingerbread rings
- 1Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C fan forced. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper. Using an electric mixer, beat butter, sugar and honey in a bowl. Add egg yolk; beat to combine. Add flour, bicarbonate of soda, ginger, cinnamon and cloves; stir to combine. Turn out onto a floured surface; gently knead until smooth.
- 2Using a rolling pin, roll dough out between 2 sheets of baking paper until 5mm thick. Using a 7cm round fluted pastry cutter, cut 30 discs from dough. Using a 2cm round fluted cutter, cut a disc from centre of each biscuit. Place on prepared trays, leaving room for spreading. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden. Cool on trays (biscuits will firm).
- 3Combine icing sugar and enough water to form a firm spreadable icing. Spread icing over biscuits. Add sprinkles. Serve when set.
