Time 1h12m

Yield Makes a good few depending on cutter size (we made 22 with a 6cm bee cutter)

Number Of Ingredients 7

300g plain flour
100g diced butter
1 tbsp mixed spice
2 tsp ground ginger
100g light soft brown sugar
1 large egg
100g clear honey

Steps:

  • Put flour, butter, mixed spice, ginger, sugar, egg and honey in a food processor. Whizz to a smooth dough.
  • Roll out on a lightly flour-dusted surface to £1 coin thickness, then stamp out shapes. Bake on trays at 200C/180C fan/ gas 6 for 10-12 mins until crisp and golden brown.
  • After baking, brush the wings with a little runny icing, then dip into granulated or caster sugar to coat. Add stripes with small writing icing pens - you can buy packs in the supermarket with both black and yellow tubes.
