Half Dipped Bitesize Ginger Biscuits

Hello Everyone!
I'm back with another Christmas post and this one is yet again "half dipped". But this time I made ginger biscuits that are half dipped into white chocolate and resemble a cute little (slightly lighter) Christmas pudding.
So let's get started...

 What you'll need:

• 75g butter
• 100g dark brown sugar
• 75g golden syrup
• egg
• 250g plain flour
• 15g ground ginger
• 2.5g/ 0.5tsp all spice
• 5g/ teaspoon bread soda
• 1.25g baking powder
• about 200g white chocolate
• green and red writing icing
• lined biscuits trays

1. Preheat your oven to 170ºC, nice and toasty :)

2. Cream together the butter, sugar and golden syrup

3. Add the egg and mix again

4. Mix in the flour, ginger, all spice, bread soda and baking powder to form a dough

5. Divide the dough into 15g pieces. Roll these into a ball, place on the tray and slightly flatten with your fingers. These don't spread too much so they can be placed fairly close together

6. Pop into the oven for about 10minutes. They should be a pale brown when you take them out and still quite soft, as they cool down they'll harden into a solid biscuit
This recipe made 36 biscuits for me

7. While the biscuits are cooling you can weigh and melt your chocolate. I melted 200g but I think 100/150g would've been enough

before the oven

 

after 10mins

8. When the biscuits are cool you begin to dip half of each biscuit into the melted chocolate and place them onto a sheet of silicone paper to dry

9. After the chocolate has set you can add some holly onto the biscuits. To do this use the red writing icing to ice three red dots onto each biscuits, these can be any size you fancy

10. Use the green writing icing to draw two lines coming out from either side of the berries. Then add some smaller lines coming out of the main line to represent the spikes of the leaves

And you're done!
Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed my second Christmas post.
See you soon :)
