It's a Tesco Gingerbread Dough Recipe thing ...
Another great Christmas recipe from Tesco .
Ingredients
- 845g (28oz) plain flour
- 4 tsp ground ginger
- 1½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 340g unsalted butter, softened
- 300g (10oz) granulated sugar
- 3 medium eggs
- 250g (8oz) black treacle
Method
- 1 - Sift the flour, ginger, and bicarbonate of soda into a mixing bowl and set aside.
- 2 - In a separate bowl, beat the butter and sugar using an electric mixer, until light and fluffy.
- 3 - Add the eggs, one at time, beating well after each addition. Pour in the treacle and continue beating until combined and smooth.
- 4 - Gradually fold in the flour mixture to form a dough (don’t worry if it’s a little sticky to start with). Once the dough starts to come together, knead with your hands for 1-2 mins, until smooth and combined, ensuring there is no flour left in the bowl.
- 5 - Divide your dough into 5 or 6 pieces. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into squares about 1in (2.5cm) thick – this will make it easier to work with. Wrap the squares securely in clingfilm and chill for at least 2 hrs, or overnight.
- 6 - The dough can now be used to make individual biscuits, houses or any other design. Preheat the oven to gas 4, 180˚C, fan 160˚C. Roll out each piece between two pieces of nonstick baking paper to the thickness of a £1 coin. Stamp or cut out your shapes and transfer to a lined baking tray. Cooking times will vary depending on the size of each shape, from 3-4 mins for small biscuits to 12-14 mins for large structural pieces. The biscuits are ready when golden brown and firm to touch. Leave to cool completely before adding any icing or decoration.
A big thank you to Tesco for this yummy festive recipe.
Tis the season ...
