Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 50 minutes
Makes: 40 biscuits

Ingredients
Biscuits
60g butter
½ cup (110g) CSR Brown Sugar, firmly packed
¾ cup (270g) CSR Golden Syrup
1 egg, beaten lightly
2½ cups (375g) plain flour
½ cup (75g) self-raising flour
½ tsp bicarb soda
1 tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp ground clove
2 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp mixed spice

Icing:
1 egg white
1½ cups (240g) CSR Pure Icing Sugar
2 tsp plain flour
1 tbs lemon juice, approximately
pink food colouring

Method
Preheat oven to 160°C. Grease oven trays.
Stir butter, sugar and syrup in a medium saucepan over low heat until sugar dissolves. Cool for 10 mins.
Transfer cooled mixture to a large bowl; stir in egg and sifted dry ingredients, in two batches. Knead dough on a floured surface until it loses its stickiness. Wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate 30 mins.
Divide dough into eight portions. Roll each portion into a 2cm (¾-inch) thick sausage; cut each sausage into five 6cm (2½-inch) lengths. Place on trays about 3cm (1¼ inches) apart; round ends with lightly floured fingers, flatten slightly. Bake for 15 mins. Cool on trays.
For the icing, beat egg white lightly in a small bowl; gradually stir in sifted icing sugar and flour, then enough juice to make icing spreadable. Place half the mixture in another small bowl; tint with pink colouring. Keep icings covered with a damp tea towel while in use. Spread over cooled biscuits.
