Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer!

A great way to spend time with the kids this weekend on the lead up to Christmas is by creating these tasty and fun Rudolph biscuits. These are not your average Rudolph biscuits, these are gingerbread men turned upside down to create gorgeous reindeers' with lovely big antlers!

Have a go at creating fun and colourful antlers! See who can make the craziest design.

Ingredients for gingerbread biscuits:

• 125g unsalted butter
• 100g dark muscovado sugar
• 4 tbsp golden syrup
• 325g plain flour
• 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
• 2 tsp ground ginger

1. Preheat the oven to 170°C and line baking trays with baking parchment.
2. Melt the butter, sugar and syrup in a medium saucepan, stirring occasionally, then remove from the heat.
3. Sieve the flour, bicarbonate of soda and ginger into a bowl and stir the melted ingredients into the dry ingredients to make a stiff dough.
4. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and roll to a thickness of about 5mm. Dip biscuit cutters into flour before cutting the dough.
5. Place the shapes onto the lined baking trays and bake, in batches, for 9-10 minutes until light golden brown.
6. Remove from the oven. While still warm, and using a skewer or chopstick, make any holes that you will need to hang up the biscuits with ribbon or to make a yuletide garland. If you are decorating your Christmas cake with gingerbread people, make the holes in their arms so that ribbon can be threaded through at a later stage.
7. When completely cool, decorate with the icing.

Decorate with different coloured icing for Christmassy reindeers this December! Have Fun!
