Method

Step 1 of 5

Line 2 baking sheets with nonstick baking paper.

Step 2 of 5

Place the flour, xanthan gum, baking powder and butter in a food processor and whizz until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Alternatively, mix together the flour, xanthan gum and baking powder in a large bowl. Add the butter and rub in with the fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir in the sugar and orange rind.

Step 3 of 5

Add the egg and golden syrup and combine to form a firm dough. Turn the dough out on a surface lightly dusted with rice flour, roll out to a thickness of 5mm and use animal cutters to cut out 20 biscuits, rerolling the trimmings as necessary. Transfer the biscuits to the prepared baking sheets.

Step 4 of 5

Place in a preheated oven, 160°C, Gas Mark 3, for about 10 minutes until golden. Remove from the oven, leave for a few minutes on the baking sheets to harden, then transfer to a wire rack to cool.

Step 5 of 5

Mix the icing sugar with the boiling water and add the colouring, if using, then smooth over the biscuits or pipe icing details. Decorate with sweets and leave to set.
