LATVIAN GINGERBREAD BISCUITS
This recipe comes from Martin Blunos of the Good Food Network. Apparently there was an error on the website as to how much butter is to be used. I made the recipe with the amount of butter originally stated and found the dough so soft, I had to work in another cup of flour. I am posting this with the amount of butter adjusted. The dough comes together really well if you mix it in a food processor. I also wanted to mention that the original recipe states a total batch of 30 cookies. Somehow, I got 96. Someone's count is definitely off!

Steps:
- Sift the flour, baking powder, ginger, cinnamon, cayenne and salt into a large mixing bowl.
- Add the butter and sugar and rub until the butter is absorbed and the mixture has a sandy texture.
- Mix in the syrup and enough of the beaten egg to make a fairly stiff, smooth dough.
- Shape the dough into a ball and wrap in cling film.
- Place the dough in the fridge to firm up for at least 45 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and grease a couple of non-stick baking sheets.
- Roll out the dough to 3 mm thickness.
- Cut the biscuits into your desired shapes and place on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown then set aside to cool on the baking sheets.
- Decorate the biscuits with piped royal icing.
- Store in an airtight container.

Steps:
- Heat the butter, syrup and sugar together in a small pan until melted, stirring occasionally. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Mix together the bicarb, ginger, cinnamon and flour in a large bowl. Pour in the buttery syrup mixture and stir to combine, then use your hands to bring together to form a dough. The dough will be soft at this point, but it'll firm up in the fridge.
- Put the dough on a sheet of baking parchment, shape into a rectangle, and lay another sheet of parchment on top of it. Roll the dough out to a thickness of ½cm. Transfer to a baking sheet to keep it flat, leaving the parchment in place, then chill in the fridge for 1 hr.
- Heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5 and line a large baking sheet with more baking parchment. Remove the dough from the fridge and cut out shapes using a cookie cutter. We used 9cm stars, but you can choose any shape. We also made some with smaller stars cut out of the centre to thread ribbon through and hang from a Christmas tree.
- Place the shapes, spread apart, on the lined baking sheet, and bake for 10-12 mins. (Depending on the size of the cutters you use, they might need a few minutes more or less cooking in the oven). Leave to cool completely on the baking sheet.
- Meanwhile, mix the icing sugar with 1-2 tbsp water - you want to create a consistency that's thick and pipeable, and not too thin or it will run. Decorate the cooled biscuits with the icing using a piping bag with a thin nozzle. Find out how to make a piping bag.
