christmas treats


I baked only a few things for Christmas this year as I ran out of time.

Gingerbread Rudoff Reindeer, sugar plums and fruit mince pies ( Donna Hay).


Ginger Bread Bickies
350g plain flour
2tsp ground ginger
1 tsp bicarb soda
115g butter
175g brown sugar
1 egg
3 tbs golden syrup

Blitz flour, ginger and bicarb in a food processor to combine
Add butter, blitz again so it looks like bread crumbs.
Add sugar, egg and syrup.
Blitz till it comes together
Turn onto surface and knead (might be crumbly at first but it’ll get there, depends on the temperature of the butter) Roll out and cut as required
Bakes at 180 -190 deg for 8-10 minutes


To make the reindeer; Before baking, press on pretzel antlers, mini m&m eyes and red 'christmas m&m noses.
