Method

Step 1 of 3

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.

Step 2 of 3

Divide dough in half. Roll out 1 portion between 2 sheets of baking paper until 5mm 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.

Step 3 of 3

Roll out icing until 3mm 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.
