Let’s make it
Step 1
Line 2 baking trays with baking paper. Beat butter and sugar until light and creamy.
Step 2
Add spices, MILKMAID and eggs, mix well. Add sifted flour and baking powder, mix to form a firm dough; wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 10 to 15 minutes.
Step 3
Cut dough in half and roll out between sheets of baking paper to 5 mm thick. Cut out gingerbread men or other shapes, using the cutter. Repeat with the remaining dough.
Step 4
Place biscuits on prepared trays and bake in batches for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden. Cool for 5 minutes on tray before cooling on a wire rack.
