ingredients
90g butter
200g honey
330g plain flour
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 1/2 teaspoons mixed spice
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons milk
icing
1 egg white
1 1/2 cups icing sugar, sifted (I used raw sugar and blitzed it. ;))
vanilla extract
strawberry paste/red food colouring/berries
Method
Place butter and honey in TMX bowl. 100 deg, speed 3, 5 minutes. Allow to cool for about 15 minutes.
Sift flour, bicarbonate of soda and spices and add to butter mixture, gently stir in milk on speed 1 for 5 -10 secs.
Allow to cool at room temperature for about an hour.
Preheat oven to 180°C. Line baking trays with baking paper.
Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead, adding a little flour if needed.
Divide mixture into four portions and roll each into a long sausage shape and cut each sausage into six pieces.
Tuck cut edges under slightly.
Place biscuits onto trays. Bake for about 8 to 12 minutes or until biscuits begin to crack on surface.
For Icing :
Whisk egg white in TMX on speed 8 for 1 min. Add icing sugar, and mix on speed 2 until smooth.
Add strawberry paste, red food colour or berries (move from speed 1 to speed 7 for 10 secs) to half the icing.
Add vanilla extract to other half.
Spread pink icing over half the biscuits and white over the other half. Allow to set.
This recipe was a total hit with the kids... and I recommend them myself! ;)

Chelsea - I made these and they are just lovely. Fluffy little pillows with beautiful icing. They were a bit of a process but well worth it. Next time I would halve the spice amounts as the flavour was a bit too strong for us.

Look and sound great - can't wait to give them a try. Thanks.

Heard of these Ceejay but never tasted one. Thanks for the recipe.

If you like ginger biscuits I suggest adding a tad more ginger to them too! ;D
Think we need another batch... ;)

I made these from the recipe you linked on fb (so on stovetop). Didn't have any ground ginger so omitted it but definitely want it next time!
There will be a next time as I didn't even get to make the icing ... they were all gone!!!
