Grease with butter a rectangular tin 33 x 10 cm or a 20cm square tin.

1. Place the soft butter and sugar in the TM bowl and beat 15sec/ speed 5. Scrape down bowl with a spatula and repeat.

Five minutes before the end of the shortbread cooking time make the icing.
1. Place all the icing ingredients into the TM bowl and heat 60c/ 5 mins/ speed 2.

2.Remove the shortbread from the oven and carefully pour the warm icing over the shortbread base.
3. Allow to cool for 20-30 minutes.( I let mine cool 30mins) then carefully remove the tin.

4. When slightly warm cut into slices.( I cut mine too soon and consequently the icing on the middle fingers have dripped :-)))

I am having a small cooking break between doing MIL annual financial review. I wanted to make something different. Hence this is now in the oven. I left the ginger out as the mob aren't very fond of it.
CC I am glad you mentioned using  :: for 2-3 minutes as it seemed to take this long to come together. Thanks.
Here is the completed product. I can't wait to cut it and try it. (http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/08/22/ga3u6yre.jpg)
You can see the bread rising in the background.

This looks like a recipe I made from a school cookbook called Cookery for young Australians. ... When I was a young Australian!
Yummy.

Bedlam, I still have my copy of the school cookbook.  I'll have to dig it out and compare the recipe

These are lovely and gingery. I didn't read the comment about cutting it whilst still warm as I made it yesterday and only cut it just now, without any problems
