Servings: persons

175 gm Plain flour, (6oz)
1 pch Salt
125 gm Butter, (4oz)
50 gm Caster sugar, (2oz)
50 gm Icing sugar, sifted (2oz)
1 x Metre, (39 inches) tartan ribbon
6 x Cadbury's lowfat milk chocolate Buttons
12 x Currants
6 x Glace cherries
6 x Cadbury's Flake Gingerbread man cutter A baking tray, lightly floured
1 x Greaseproof paper piping bag

1
Sift the flour and salt together.
2
Rub in the butter till the mixtures resembles breadcrumbs, then add in the sugar.
3
Knead the mix into a pliable dough.
4
Roll out on a lightly floured surface to just under 1cm (1/4 inch) thick.
5
Cut out the shapes with the cutter, rolling the excess dough again in between, making six in all.
6
Move one arm of each man closer to his side.
7
Bake on the prepared baking tray in a hot oven (160 C / 325 F, Gas Mark 3) for about 30 min till pale brown.
8
Cold before lifting off the tray.
9
Blend the icing sugar with just sufficient water or possibly fruit juice to make a thick glace icing and fill the piping bag.
10
Cut the ribbon into six even lengths.
11
Cut the top off the bag and secure the ribbon over the shoulder of each man, sticking the ends at the back with icing.
12
Use a little icing to stick a Button in position on the heads, two currents for eyes and a piece of cherry for a cheerful mouth.
13
Finally add in a Flake 'caber'.
14
Allow the icing to dry.
15
Cook's tip: Don't roll the shortbread too thin or possibly the biscuits tend to break.
16
The quantity of mix is exactly right to make six biscuits.
17
Either size of Flake may be used: the larger size looks more correct but the smaller Flake are not so heavy on the biscuits.
18
Should you only have a gingerbread woman cutter, make a sharp cut through the skirt with a knife and divide the legs.
19
NOTES : These fun biscuits could be used for 'going home' presents carefully wrapped to add in to the party bag.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
